Episode Description (130 words):
In this episode of The Macro AI Podcast, Gary and Scott unpack why Apple chose Google’s Gemini to power the next-generation Siri — and why the move makes perfect sense when viewed through history. The hosts trace Google’s 20-year journey in artificial intelligence: from Google Brain’s “cat-video” experiment to DeepMind’s AlphaGo and the 2017 Transformer breakthrough by Google Research. They spotlight the engineers, hardware, and research culture that made Google the quiet giant of AI. The conversation then turns to Apple’s strategy — speed, scale, and privacy — and what this partnership means for the future of AI ecosystems.

In this episode of The Macro AI Podcast, Gary and Scott dig into one of the biggest challenges emerging in enterprise AI: securing autonomous agents. As businesses deploy systems that can reason and act independently, a new class of risks emerges — from prompt injection and memory poisoning to identity confusion and tool abuse. The hosts explain why the old cybersecurity playbook no longer works, what “intent security” really means, and how identity-bound autonomy can make AI systems trustworthy at scale.

In this episode of The Macro AI Podcast, Gary and Scott take a deep dive into Palantir Technologies — the company quietly transforming how organizations use artificial intelligence to make real-world decisions.

They explain what Palantir actually is (and isn’t), how its four platforms — Gotham, Foundry, Apollo, and AIP — work together to fuse data, decisions, and actions, and why its ontology-driven architecture has become the blueprint for operational AI at scale.

The conversation explores Palantir’s:

• Government and commercial growth engine, including NHS and DoD programs
• Financial transformation into a profitable, recurring-revenue software company
• Competitive landscape, from cloud hyperscalers (Microsoft, AWS, Google, IBM, Oracle) to modern AI platforms (Databricks, Snowflake, C3.ai), BI specialists (Tableau, Splunk, Alteryx, SAS), and defense-sector rival Govini
• Platform differentiation — how Palantir uniquely unifies structured and unstructured data into a single, governable operating system

Gary and Scott close with practical lessons for executives: how to evaluate enterprise AI platforms, what to ask vendors, and why Palantir’s model represents the next phase of AI transformation — moving beyond analytics toward true decision infrastructure.

Whether you’re a CEO, CIO, or board member exploring how to operationalize AI responsibly, this episode gives you the clearest explanation yet of what makes Palantir different — and why its approach may define the next decade of enterprise intelligence.
