Mistral AI wants to promote AI for citizens
Mistral AI has launched a collaborative initiative to help states and public institutions transform public services and drive innovation. People and organizations should have the chance to shape the role of AI in their future.
The details
- Artificial intelligence has lasting impacts not only on businesses but also on governments and societies. It feels like we’re at the mercy of big tech companies with their closed models.
- Mistral aims to address this by helping organizations and states through their open models. They are already collaborating with governments, defense forces, public sector agencies, and other institutions worldwide.
- According to Mistral, today’s AI landscape is dominated by closed, opaque solutions with limited flexibility, which leads to significant limitations and risks. These are black-box solutions, dependence on dominant vendors, and lack of security and privacy.
- This initiative aims to provide the following opportunities: the establishment of competence centers to build local expertise, the implementation of customized research and development programs, the building of an AI ecosystem, and the development of local AI talent pools.
Our thoughts
Mistral takes a different approach than big tech companies. Instead of relying on closed-source models and standardized solutions, the company aims to develop customized solutions for businesses, organizations, and states. This could increase acceptance among citizens as Mistral develops solutions to comply with local regulations.
