Comment by Morten Irgens

CERN is independent of direct control from industry, individual nations or individual organisations (such as the Commission), and to protect decisions from private interests, CERN is only publicly funded. [...] The CERN model is more than historical inspiration: it provides a proven blueprint for ambitious scientific collaboration. [...] Instead, to effectively address the pressing issue of technological sovereignty in AI, a coalition of EU member states and like-minded countries should commit themselves to creating a CERN for AI worthy of the name.
