Mistral CEO proposes EU revenue levy on AI providers to fund content creators
Mistral CEO Arthur Mensch proposed a revenue-based levy on AI providers operating in Europe to fund compensation for content creators, writing in the Financial Times.
Mensch argued a mandatory payment mechanism would be more practical than negotiating individual licensing deals with millions of rights holders.
The proposal comes from an unusual source, as Mistral itself trains models on internet data.
