Mistral CEO Arthur Mensch warns France against letting Anthropic's Mythos scan military code bases

Mistral CEO Arthur Mensch warned France against using foreign AI models to scan military code bases.

He said systems like Anthropic’s Mythos can find vulnerabilities and even generate exploits, raising security risks.

Mensch argued that relying on outside AI for defense code would deepen Europe’s cybersecurity dependence.

He also said Mistral remains independent and intends to stay that way.
