In a recent interview, Alex Karp runs Palantir, a data analytics firm, guiding its roadmap. He says AI could make a few high‑IQ people very rich, catapulting them into elite wealth, and reshape wealth patterns. On July 24, 2026 he called these people "odd IQ shapes you wouldn’t want to have over for dinner", a comment that drew eyebrows, a description that many found unsettling, a potential danger. Karp says AI could also worsen the gap between the very rich and everyone else, widening the divide, even as regulators watch, that seems to be speeding up. He thinks his own fortune might explode 20 times if Palantir’s AI bets pay off, a potential windfall he anticipates, despite unknowns, indicating his bullish stance.
