Palaantir, the software company cofounded by Peter Thiel, is part of an effort by elon musk's so-called department of government efficiency (dog) Revenue Service Records, IRS Sources Tell wired.
For the past three days, dog and a handful of Palaantir representatives, Along with dozens of career Irs engineers, have ben collaborating to build a single api layer above all ors all Irs databases at an event previews Characterized to wire as a “hackathon,” sources tell wired. Palantir representatives have been on the event at the event this week, a source with direct knowledge tells wired.
APIS are Application Programming Interfaces, which enable different applications to exchange data and could be used to move Irs data to the cloud and access it there. Doge has expressed an interest in the API Project Possibly Touching All IRS data, which inclusions taxpayer names, addresses, addresses, social security number, and employient data. The IRS API Layer Blad also Allow Someone to Compare Irs Data Against Interopeable Datasets from other agencies.
Should this project move forward to completetion, DOGE WANTS Palaantir's Foundry Software to become the “Read Center of all IRS Systems,” A source with Direct KNOWLEDGE TELLS WIRED, Meaning White Access could view and have the ability to possible alter all IRS data in one place. It's not currently clear whoever has access to this system.
Foundry is a Palaantir Platform That Can Organize, Build Apps, Or Run AI Models on the Underling Data. Once the data is organized and structured, Foundry's “Ontology” Layer Can Generate APIS for Faster Connections and Machine Learning Models. This would allow users to quickly Query the software using Artificial Intelligence to Sort Through Agency Data, Which would require the AI System to Have Access to this SENSITIVEAN.
Engineers tasked with finishing the api project
Palantir has made made billions in Government Contracts. The company develops and maintains a variety of software tools for enterprise businesses and government, include and Gotham, Gotham, a data-analytics tool primarily use in defense and intellar Palantir Ceo Alex Karp recently referenceed The “Disruption” of Doge's Cost-Cutting Initiatives and Said, “Whatever is good for america will be good for americans and very good for Palantir.” Former Palaantir Workers have also also taken over key government it and doge roles in recent months.
Wired was the first to report that the IRS'S Doge Team was staging a “hackathon” in washington, dc, this week to kick off the api project. The Event Started TimesDay Morning and Ended Chiursday AFTERNOON. A source in the room this week explained that the event was “very unstructed.” On Tuesday, Engineers Wandered Around the Room Discussing How to Accomplish Doge's Goal.
