Artificial intelligence will displace so many jobs that it will eliminate the need for mass immigration, according to Palantir Technologies Inc. Chief Executive Officer Alex Karp.

“There will be more than enough jobs for the citizens of your nation, especially those with vocational training,” said Karp, speaking at a World Economic Forum panel in Davos, Switzerland on Tuesday. “I do think these trends really do make it hard to imagine why we should have large-scale immigration unless you have a very specialized skill.”

Karp, who holds a PhD in philosophy, used himself as an example of the type of “elite” white-collar worker most at risk of disruption.

Vocational workers will be more valuable “if not irreplaceable,” he said, criticizing the idea that higher education is the ultimate benchmark of a person’s talents and employability.

Karp described himself as a “card-carrying progressive,” though he expressed views sympathetic to US President Donald Trump’s agenda, and his data analytics company maintains close ties to the country’s immigration authorities and Defense Department. Those relationships have provoked protests inside and outside the company, Karp said.

Palantir has long supplied services to US Immigration and Customs Enforcement, enabling officials to build dossiers on individuals. It also has defense tie-ups with governments around the world and a growing enterprise business. The company was co-founded by Karp and billionaire Peter Thiel, an early adviser to Trump during his first administration.

The company’s share price has risen more than 130% over the past 12 months, sending its value soaring to about $400 billion.
