arthurmensch · x · 2026-11-14
After meeting European Council President Costa, Mistral CEO Arthur Mensch said Europe already holds all the technology and talent needed to lead the AI race; what it lacks is greater speed, bolder financing and tight coordination among member states.
In the quoted post, Costa called AI the most important technology of our time, arguing Europe must capture its benefits—from higher productivity to better public services—while managing the risks and changes it brings and helping set global standards for responsible, safe, human-centric AI.
