Of course, many of these AI professionals are working in roles at US-headquartered technology companies that have built a large AI research presence in Europe, such as Alphabet or Meta. But as the example of Mistral AI demonstrates - a company founded by European former leading AI researchers at Meta and DeepMind - these European-based pools of AI talent have become an incredibly rich breeding ground for the founders and talent behind the next generation of European AI companies.
