AI Verified The quote indicates the author wants a CERN-like AI effort to be 'internationally,' which clearly implies opposition to limiting such an initiative to EU member states only. · YouCongress gpt-5.4-2026-03-05 · 18d ago

Disputed The Guardian article from October 24, 2023 does attribute this statement to Demis Hassabis, but the wording in the source is slightly different: it begins “Then what I’d like to see eventually...” and writes “Cern,” not “CERN.” Because the submitted version drops the opening word and changes the capitalization, I can confirm the idea and attribution, but not the quote as verbatim.
