Thiel’s drive to control Brazilian legal relations should serve as a warning about the need to affirm and reaffirm the fundamental importance of human centrality in all institutions and relationships.
The recent flight of technocrat billionaire Peter Thiel—renowned for his firm Palantir, which engages with U.S. intelligence and security agencies—to Argentina has sparked curiosity regarding his interests in South America. The controversial role of Javier Milei in advancing the Andinia Plan (a strategy promoting Jewish settlement in Patagonia to establish a new Zionist state) is well-known, fueling speculation about whether Thiel might be involved. Alternatively, some believe Thiel is simply relocating from the U.S. to avoid potential prosecution under a future post-Trump administration.
However, regardless of Thiel’s true agenda in Argentina, this region does not seem to be the primary focus of his South American ventures.
Recently, it came to light that ex-Supreme Court Justice Luis Roberto Barroso and television personality Luciano Huck—both ardent Zionists and key figures in the liberal-progressive establishment—are board members of the Brazilian AI enterprise “Enter.” This company is developing a platform modeled on technologies from OpenAI and Anthropic, designed to autonomously handle legal case management for Brazil’s leading mass-litigation law firms, including drafting legal documents.
Furthermore, “Enter” aims to extend its operations directly into courtroom systems, aspiring to monopolize AI applications within Brazil’s legal sector. By embedding itself on both sides of the judicial process—as an interface between attorneys and judges—the firm threatens the essential “separation” among plaintiffs, defendants, and the judiciary that sustains fair and impartial legal proceedings.
There is also a concern that, through subtle algorithmic instructions, “Enter” might disadvantage clients whose interests conflict with those of its investors, board members, or advisors.
The issue gains an international aspect when considering that the primary backer of “Enter” is the Founders Fund, a venture capital group founded by Peter Thiel, including numerous Silicon Valley billionaires and speculators among its partners.
Via the Founders Fund, Thiel exerts influence not only over Palantir and SpaceX (Elon Musk’s company) but also over firms like Facebook, Polymarket, Spotify, and Airbnb—all prominent players in Big Tech focused on digitization and algorithmic control of global systems for easier manipulation.
Thus, Thiel’s investment in a project explicitly targeting control over legal practitioners and the judiciary in Brazil presents a substantial institutional threat. Brazil has evolved into a proving ground for diverse liberal experiments, with outcomes there potentially guiding similar initiatives internationally to control legal systems worldwide.
The ongoing move to incorporate AI into legal processes in Brazil itself carries significant risks. Judges have increasingly ceased reading case files or drafting rulings independently. Skilled lawyers have begun embedding covert AI prompts in their submissions to influence automated judicial decisions in their favor, effectively sidelining the human element in law.
Legal disputes inherently revolve around human concerns, and only humans can genuinely comprehend the needs and rights of others—highlighting the critical importance, perhaps a fundamental right, of being represented and judged solely by human beings.
Peter Thiel’s efforts to dominate Brazilian legal affairs should serve as a clear reminder of the necessity to uphold the fundamental role of human agency within all institutions and relationships.
AI cannot and should not replace human beings.
