US EditionMistral chief calls for European AI levy to pay creatives
- Mistral CEO Arthur Mensch proposed a revenue levy of 1.0 to 1.5% on companies selling AI models in Europe to support cultural industries based on their use of human-generated data like text, audio, and video.
- Mensch suggested that the AI levy proceeds should fund a central European fund dedicated to new content creation and supporting European cultural sectors, applying equally to foreign AI providers operating in Europe for a level playing field.
- Mensch stated that in return for paying the levy, AI developers would gain legal certainty and protection from liability for training on publicly accessible materials without replacing direct agreements between data owners and AI firms.
- Mistral, valued at €11.7 billion, faces accusations or investigation for using copyrighted works like Harry Potter to train its models but claims to respect opt-out mechanisms and safeguards.

Mistral chief calls for European AI levy to pay creatives
Companies selling artificial intelligence models in Europe should pay a "levy" to support cultural industries, the head of French developer Mistral said Friday.
The AI industry and the creative sector are at loggerheads: the former needs to train its models with content, while the latter wants to put an end to the plundering of its copyrighted works. Mistral proposes a solution to reconcile all parties and put Europe back at the heart of the game.
