flag Mistral proposes a revenue-based levy on AI firms in Europe to fund creators whose work trains AI systems.

flag Mistral’s CEO has proposed a 1.0 to 1.5 percent revenue-based levy on AI companies operating in Europe to fund a European cultural fund, aiming to compensate creators whose work is used in AI training. flag The proposal, made in a Financial Times op-ed, seeks legal certainty for developers and a level playing field, especially for foreign firms, while addressing unresolved enforcement issues under the EU’s 2024 AI Act. flag Though Mistral faces allegations over using copyrighted works like "Harry Potter" and "The Little Prince," it claims to respect opt-out mechanisms and safeguards. flag The levy would not replace direct licensing but could help resolve ongoing disputes over AI training data use.
