Palantir Says Top AI Engineers Stole Secrets for ‘Copycat’

Palantir Technologies Inc. sued two former senior artificial intelligence engineers, claiming they stole documents and information to help launch a “copycat” competitor, Percepta.

Palantir filed a lawsuit Thursday against Radha Jain and Joanna Cohen in Manhattan federal court. Both women were entrusted with Palantir’s “crown jewels,” including its source code, in which the company has invested billions of dollars, according to the suit.
