Europe’s AI sovereignty is under threat. Could Mistral be the answer?

Arthur Mensch, CEO of Mistral, warned the French National Assembly that Europe must build its own AI infrastructure within two years to avoid dependency on U.S. technology. The U.S. temporarily restricted access to Anthropic's Mythos AI model, highlighting risks of foreign control over critical AI systems. Mistral is positioned as a potential European alternative but faces challenges in U.S. chip dependencies and competitiveness against leading global AI models.
