AI startup Black Forest Labs urges optimism from Europe despite safety fears
Europe needs to view artificial intelligence with more optimism -- despite growing warnings about its dangers -- or risk falling further behind, the head of a leading European AI start-up warned. "I think the mindset in Europe needs to shift to one of optimism and to one of opportunity, and not to one of risk and fear," Robin Rombach, CEO of German AI image generation specialist Black Forest Labs, told AFP. Europe lags behind the United States and China when it comes to cutting-edge AI models.
