One pressing question at the artificial-intelligence (AI) summit in Paris this week was this: is Mistral AI’s assistant a cat, or a chat? Called Le Chat and developed by a French startup as a competitor to ChatGPT, it launched as a smartphone app on February 6th. To the English speaker, Le Chat looks like a French twist on AI chat, which it conducts in English (and other languages). Yet at the jamboree President Emmanuel Macron plugged it using a soft “sh”, rendering Le Chat distinctly feline. Arthur Mensch, Mistral’s 32-year-old boss, says his baby is indeed four-legged. Look carefully at…

The last time I interviewed Demis Hassabis was back in November 2022, just a few weeks before the release of ChatGPT. Even then—before the rest of the world went AI-crazy—the CEO of Google DeepMind had a stark warning about the accelerating pace of AI progress. “I would advocate not moving fast and breaking things,” Hassabis told me back then. He criticized what he saw as a reckless attitude among some in his field, who he likened to experimentalists who “don’t realize they’re holding dangerous material.”Two and a half years later, much has changed in the world of AI. Hassabis, for…
