DeepL CEO calls for capturing AI value chain amid European policy shift
What happened
Jarek Kutylowski, CEO of DeepL, stated that Europe needs its own AI models and the entire AI value chain to capture value, warning that otherwise, value creation will go to others. This statement follows calls by European leaders, including the European Commission President, to shift away from trying to compete with U.S. frontrunners in developing the most advanced AI models.

Why it matters
