CEO of Mistral: AI is software. It can be controlled

Mistral AI CEO Arthur Mensch told Le Monde that AI is fundamentally software and can be controlled, regulated, and audited like any other software. He pushes back against mystifying AI and argues that risk discussions are overblown. With proper design, AI behavior is predictable and constrainable. Mensch also urges Europe to stay pragmatic on regulation and not over-restrict open-source models. The article does not disclose Mistral's specific model progress or business metrics.
