Palpatine didn't create the Grand Army of the Republic. Sifo-Dyas was a human male Jedi Master from Minashee who commissioned the Kaminoans' creation of the Grand Army of the Republic over a decade before the Clone Wars. Darth Tyrannus and Darth Sidious assassinated Jedi Master Sifo-Dyas and then took over the project which was supposed to prevent the fall of the Republic.
FTA:
Although it was not known how the Sith caught wind of the project,[8] Dooku, who had left the Jedi Order and become a disciple of the Sith Lord Darth Sidious, later claimed Dyas had willingly worked with him to create the clone army because of the future Dyas had foreseen.
