đ«đ· Mistral's CEO picks a fight with France's AI copyright bill
Mistral AI CEO Arthur Mensch is urging French lawmakers to reject the Darcos bill, which would presume AI providers used a copyrighted work whenever there is a plausible indication they did. He says it flips the burden of proof, would force disclosure of trade secrets and threatens Mistral's European data center plans, proposing instead a revenue-based levy on all AI providers in Europe to fund creators. Senator Laure Darcos fired back, and writers, journalists and artists criticized Mistral.
â The bill passed the Senate unanimously and reaches the National Assembly on November 19, making France a key battleground over who pays for AI training data.
