Call for faster action
Arthur Mensch, head of the French AI company Mistral, urged European heads of state and government on Friday, 13 November, to act now so the continent stays in the artificial intelligence race. The field is dominated by the United States and China. BFMTV places his remarks at an AI summit held in Dublin on the same day. His words were relayed to AFP by his entourage, so they are reported speech rather than a published transcript.
“Europe has all the technology and talent it needs to lead the race in artificial intelligence. What it needs now is speed, funding and close coordination between member states.”
What he argued
Mensch rejected the idea that Europe is behind the United States and China, according to BFMTV. He told the leaders that the decisions taken over the next two years would shape the sector for the coming decade. He framed the moment as a window that policymakers still control.
“The decisions taken over the next two years will shape this sector for the coming decade. That is why we call on European leaders to act now.”
