Mistral CEO Arthur Mensch has cautioned the French government against allowing Anthropic’s AI model Mythos to examine sensitive military code bases. During a presentation before a French commission of inquiry, Mensch highlighted that modern AI models like Mythos can orchestrate cyberattacks, identify system vulnerabilities, and even suggest exploits.
Mensch emphasized that this capability isn’t exclusive to American systems; Mistral’s own AI models or those from other regions could similarly exploit such vulnerabilities tied to Mythos. He argued that the French army’s code bases should not be subject to such scrutiny by Mythos due to potential long-term dependency issues, which are nearly impossible to reverse.
- The EU is currently in talks with OpenAI and Anthropic for early access to their most advanced cybersecurity models.
- Mistral AI aims to remain independent and eventually go public, positioning itself as the only EU company with competitive language models.
- Arthur Mensch clarified that US investors hold less than 30% of Mistral’s shares, indicating a preference for European capital but lacking sufficient availability.
