Comment by Demis Hassabis
Nobel laureate, AI Researcher and CEO of DeepMind
Then what I’d like to see eventually is an equivalent of a CERN for AI safety that does research into that – but internationally. And then maybe there’s some kind of equivalent one day of the IAEA, which actually audits these things.AI Verified source (2023)

The quote clearly supports creating an international, CERN-like institute in the AI domain: the author says they would like to see 'an equivalent of a CERN for AI safety... but internationally.' Although it specifies AI safety, it directly endorses the core idea of a global AI institute similar to CERN.

The Guardian article dated October 24, 2023 directly attributes this statement to Demis Hassabis and contains the same wording in context. Minor note: the article prints “Cern” rather than “CERN,” but the quote is otherwise verbatim and authentic.

Verified via web search. The Guardian URL was blocked from WebFetch, but Hassabis's own tweet confirms he spoke to the Guardian ahead of the October 2023 AI Safety Summit, and multiple secondary sources (Lawfare, TIME, Chatham House, Wikipedia) confirm Hassabis has consistently advocated for both a "CERN for AI safety" and an "IAEA-equivalent" body to audit AI systems. Quote aligns with the statement "Establish a UN-led body to oversee compute-intensive AI"; vote "for" matches.
