Скачать или смотреть Mistral AI: The European answer to Big Tech? with Matthew Blakemore | AI & the Media World

In this third episode of AI & the Media World, we take a closer look at Europe’s fast-evolving AI landscape. With new players like Mistral AI entering the arena and policymakers pushing for stronger digital sovereignty, the big question becomes unavoidable: can Europe truly compete with the US and China in the global AI race and what does that mean for media?

Host Marijn Goossens sits down with Matthew Blakemore, AI expert and consultant on ethical innovation, to unpack how European values, regulation and open-source approaches are shaping a very different kind of AI ecosystem.

🔍 Together, they explore:

What makes Europe’s AI approach fundamentally different
The rise of Mistral AI and why everyone is talking about it
How the EU AI Act will impact media organisations
Whether Europe’s “open-source first” direction is an advantage or a risk
The funding gap: why so many European startups still look West
How media companies can strengthen digital independence
Why building trust and AI literacy matters now more than ever

💡 A grounded and timely episode for anyone working in journalism, broadcasting, tech or policy and for everyone wondering whether Europe can build an AI ecosystem on its own terms.
