Mistral CEO Arthur Mensch opposes France's Darcos law, calling for an AI creation fund based on revenue to be established at the EU level

Mistral CEO Arthur Mensch issues a statement opposing France's Darcos law, citing its presumption of use triggered by a single data point and reversed burden of proof. He argues that proving non-use during frontier model training would require exposing trade secrets, creating legal risks that could impact Mistral's decision to build a data center in Essonne, France and conduct research.
