CEO of Mistral: AI is software. It can be controlled

Arthur Mensch, CEO of French start-up Mistral AI, argues that American tech giants are manipulating discourse around AI risks to control and close off the market. He defends his company's open, accessible approach after raising €3 billion in early September, announces a new AI model launching in weeks, and proposes state guarantees to fund European data centers.
