Which AI chatbot is the best at protecting your privacy?
Mistral AI's Le Chat is the least privacy-invasive generative artificial intelligence model when it comes to data privacy, a new analysis has found. Incogni, a personal information removal service, used a set of 11 criteria to assess the various privacy risks with large language models (LLMs), including OpenAI's ChatGPT, Meta AI, Google's Gemini, Microsoft's Copilot, xAI's Grok, Anthropic's Claude, Inflection AI's Pi AI and China-based DeepSeek. Each platform was then scored from zero, being the most privacy-friendly to one, being the least-friendly on that list of criteria. The research aimed to identify how the models are trained, their transparency, and how data is collected and shared. Among the criteria, the study looked at the data set used by the models, whether user-generated prompts could be used for training and what data, if any, could be shared with third parties. What sets Mistral AI apart? The analysis showed that French company Mistral AI's so-called Le Chat model is the least privacy-invasive platform because it collects 'limited' personal data and does well on AI-specific privacy concerns. Le Chat is also one of the few AI assistant chatbots in the study that would only provide user-generated prompts to its service providers, along with Pi AI. OpenAI's ChatGPT comes second in the overall ranking because the company has a 'clear' privacy policy that explains to users exactly where their data is going. However, the researchers noted some concerns about how the models are trained and how user data 'interacts with the platform's offerings'. xAI, the company run by billionaire Elon Musk that operates Grok, came in third place because of transparency concerns and the amount of data collected. Meanwhile, Anthropic's Claude model performed similarly to xAI but had more concerns about how models interact with user data, the study said. At the bottom of the ranking is Meta AI, which was the most privacy invasive, followed by Gemini and Copilot. Many of the companies at the bottom of the ranking don't seem to let users opt out of having prompts that they generated used to further train their models, the analysis said.

Mistral AI CEO Arthur Mensch warns of AI ‘deskilling' people: ‘It's a risk that….'
Image for representative purpose Mistral AI CEO and former Google DeepMind researcher Arthur Mensch recently said that the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on white-collared jobs is an 'overstatement'. In an interview with The Times of London at the VivaTech conference in Paris, Mensch dismissed the idea that AI will result in huge job cuts. Instead, he sees AI 'deskilling' people as one of the biggest threats to the job market . Mensch said that as people rely more on AI to search and summarize information, they may stop thinking critically themselves. "It's a risk that you can avoid, if you think of it from a design perspective, if you make sure that you have the right human input, that you keep the human active," Mensch said at the Paris conference earlier this month. "You want people to continue learning," he continued. "Being able to synthesize information and criticize information is a core component to learning." Mistral AI CEO responds to Anthropic CEO's remark on losing over half of entry-level jobs to AI During the interview, Mensch also responded to recent warnings of losing jobs to AI including the one by Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei . Dario said that AI may replace half of entry-level white-collar workers in the next five years. "We, as the producers of this technology, have a duty and an obligation to be honest about what is coming," Amodei told Axios in an interview published last month. The 42-year-old CEO emphasized that most people remain unaware of the impending transformation, calling it a reality that "sounds crazy, and people just don't believe it." Mensch said "I think it's very much of an overstatement," adding that he believed Amodei liked to "spread fear" as a marketing strategy. Instead of job cuts, Mensch believes AI will reshape office work, with more emphasis on human interaction. 'I do expect that we'll have more relational tasks because that's not something you can easily replace,' he said. 6 Awesome New Features Coming in Android 16! AI Masterclass for Students.

Mistral AI CEO says AI's biggest threat is people getting lazy
Mistral AI CEO Arthur Mensch says warnings about AI's impact on white-collar workers are overblown. He says the biggest risk AI poses to humans is "deskilling." Mensch said humans needed to remain actively involved in reviewing AI output to keep learning. As tech leaders continue to debate the potential impact of artificial intelligence on the job market, one CEO says the technology's biggest risk may be "deskilling." In an interview with The Times of London, Arthur Mensch, the CEO of the Paris-based firm Mistral AI, dismissed the idea that AI would lead to huge cuts to white-collar jobs, saying the bigger risk was that people may become progressively lazier as they increasingly rely on the tech to search for information. Speaking to the outlet at the VivaTech conference in Paris earlier this month, Mensch, who cofounded the open-source large language model developer alongside Guillaume Lample and Timothée Lacroix in April 2023, said that a key way to avoid this would be to ensure humans remained actively involved in reviewing and critiquing AI output. "It's a risk that you can avoid, if you think of it from a design perspective, if you make sure that you have the right human input, that you keep the human active," he said, adding that he believed it was important humans did not take AI output as the "truth." "You want people to continue learning," he continued. "Being able to synthesize information and criticize information is a core component to learning." Mensch, a former Google DeepMind researcher, also responded to recent warnings that AI poses a threat to white-collar jobs, including from Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, who recently said that AI could replace half of all entry-level white-collar jobs within five years. "I think it's very much of an overstatement," Mensch said, adding that he believed Amodei liked to "spread fear" about AI as a marketing tactic. Instead, Mensch said he thought AI would change white-collar jobs. "I do expect that we'll have more relational tasks because that's not something you can easily replace," he said.
