The CEO of Europe's brightest new AI firm is calling bull on the quest for so-called "artificial general intelligence" , which he says is akin to the desire to create God., Arthur Mensch, the CEO of the AI firm Mistral, sounded off on his fellow AI executives' "very religious" obsession with building AGI.
"The whole AGI rhetoric is about creating God," the Mistral CEO told the newspaper. "I don't believe in God. I'm a strong atheist. So I don't believe in AGI."pipe dream, Mensch's comments hold a lot of weight because, at just 31, he's Europe's self-appointed AI "champion." Indeed, the youthful Frenchman boasts an impressive resume prior to founding Mistral. Less than two years ago, he was working at Google DeepMind — which, along withis one thing, but creating human-level artificial intelligence is another. Mensch, clearly, differs from his Silicon Valley counterparts in that regard.
"These models are producing content and shaping our cultural understanding of the world," the CEO said. "And as it turns out, the values of France and the values of the United States differ in subtle but important ways.", are cautiously excited about the labor changes AI will bring — but to the Mistral cofounder's mind, those changes will require swift retraining.
