Notes from the Mistral AI Now Summit in Paris

Here is the summary: The article discusses the Mistral AI Now Summit in Paris, which brought together experts in artificial intelligence to discuss the latest developments and applications of AI. The summit featured keynote speeches, panel discussions, and workshops on topics such as natural language processing, machine learning, and AI ethics. The event aimed to promote collaboration and knowledge sharing among AI professionals and enthusiasts. .

Europe AI startup co-founder warns region cannot afford to rely on US for Superintelligence

The chief scientist and co-founder of Mistral AI, Europe’s leading artificial intelligence (AI) startup, has issued a stark warning: Europe must urgently build its own “superintelligence” because it cannot afford to rely on American tech giants. Guillaume Lample, speaking ahead of a company event in Paris recently, warned that the arrival of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) is just around the corner.

EU launches major tech push to break US and China dependence

The EU is betting big on cloud computing and chips to reduce its technological dependence on the US and China, and to re-enter the global tech race. But whether it will succeed and how the two superpowers will react remain open questions. The European Commission has presented a sweeping package to boost homegrown technologies and reduce dependency on American and Chinese companies.

NATO drills: France to test AI battlefield tech as alternative to US system

Arcadia, developed with French firms, is a European response to Maven, an AI command and control system used by NATO that was developed by the US company Palantir. France is set to begin trialling its own artificial intelligence-powered battlefield command during a NATO exercise on Monday, Defense News reports. AI battlefield systems help optimise decision-making and target identification.

AI agents actively ignore EU law to achieve goals, study finds

The best-performing AI agent, Anthropic’s Claude Opus, only complied with EU law in 54% of cases, according to a Dutch non-profit research firm. Some of the world's most popular AI models are building agents that actively resist EU regulation to get what they want, according to new research. Aithos, a Dutch non-profit researching AI alignment, developed a system called LARA to test 12 popular AI agent models to see whether they would follow key parts of the EU AI Act, which regulates how AI...

Benchmarking Local LLMs for Natural-Language-to-SQL Querying in Biopharmaceutical Manufacturing: An Empirical Benchmark on Consumer-Grade Hardware

arXiv:2606.01338v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Biopharmaceutical manufacturing organizations operate under regulatory frameworks such as FDA guidance, EU Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP), and the EU AI Act, which can restrict the use of cloud-based artificial intelligence systems. Locally deployed large language models (LLMs) offer a privacy-preserving alternative, but their suitability for pharmaceutical manufacturing tasks remains underexplored. This study evaluates four open-source LLMs...

Generating the Modal Worker: A Cross-Model Audit of Race and Gender in LLM-Generated Personas Across 41 Occupations

arXiv:2510.21011v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: As generative AI tools are increasingly used to portray people in professional roles, understanding their racial and gender representational biases is critical. We audit over 1.5 million occupational personas generated by four major large language models (GPT-4, Gemini 2.5, DeepSeek V3.1, and Mistral-medium) across 41 U.S. occupations. Comparing these personas against U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) data, we find that models generate...

Regulating the AI Tutor: Intentions, Help-Seeking, and Self-Regulated Learning in Adolescent GenAI Use

Announce Type: new Abstract: Generative AI (GenAI) tools are now common learning companions for adolescents, yet how they regulate their use during authentic learning tasks remains poorly understood. Self-regulated learning (SRL) and high-level help-seeking (HS) are commonly proposed as safeguards against passive or shortcut-oriented use, but most empirical studies focus on aggregate learning outcomes rather than these moment-to-moment processes during AI-supported learning. This...

AI chatbot responses polluted by pro-Russian disinformation

AI chatbot responses polluted by pro-Russian disinformation AI-driven chatbots are increasingly being used as sources of information, but they are also vulnerable to disinformation campaigns. Experts have found that pro-Russian misinformation, in particular, can seep into the responses generated by these conversational agents. Claims have been circulating on pro-Russian websites that Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan tried to sell gold from the Amulsar mine to Turkish firms at a discount.
