Welcome to the new episode of the TNW Podcast — the show where we discuss the latest developments in the European technology ecosystem and feature interviews with some of the most interesting people in the industry.

In today’s episode, Ioanna and Andrii talk about the jumbo funding round for Mistral, how AI is impacting copywriters, and also — which TNW Conference sessions we’re looking forward to. 

The guest of the show is Crijn Bouman, CEO and co-founder of Rocsys — a company that’s building hands-free charging solutions for electric vehicles. That involves a lot of robotics and AI, and we’ll talk about all of it in detail.

Here are the stories and things mentioned in the episode:

• French AI darling Mistral reportedly almost triples valuation to €5.8B
• AI took their jobs. Now they get paid to make it sound human
• AI Detectors Get It Wrong. Writers Are Being Fired Anyway
• June 20, Vision stage: Deep Tech Trends: What Can We Expect by 2030
