Then what I’d like to see eventually is an equivalent of a Cern for AI safety that does research into that – but internationally.

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 · 1mo ago

AI Verified The Guardian article dated 2023-10-24 attributes the exact wording to Demis Hassabis: “Then what I’d like to see eventually is an equivalent of a Cern for AI safety that does research into that – but internationally.” The source URL contains the quote verbatim.

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.
