IA: “We call on European leaders to act now” to stay in the race, pleads the boss of Mistral

Arthur Mensch, the director of the French company Mistral, called on Friday European heads of state and government to take action so that the continent remains in the race in terms of artificial intelligence, a sector dominated by the United States and China.

“Europe has all the technology and talent needed to lead the artificial intelligence race. What it needs now is speed, funding and close coordination between member states,” Arthur Mensch told leaders at a summit dedicated to AI, according to comments reported by his entourage. “Decisions made over the next two years will shape this sector for the decade to come. This is why we call on European leaders to act now,” he insisted.
