Comment by Ursula von der Leyen
President of the European Commission
We want to replicate the success story of the CERN laboratory in Geneva. CERN hosts the largest particle accelerator in the world. And it allows the best and the brightest minds in the world to work together. We want the same to happen in our AI Gigafactories. We provide the infrastructure for large computational power. Researchers, entrepreneurs and investors will be able to join forces.Verified source

The quote explicitly says they want to "replicate the success story of the CERN laboratory" for AI by creating shared AI "Gigafactories" with large computing infrastructure where top researchers and others can work together, which matches the idea of a CERN-like global AI institute.

The quote supports copying CERN’s collaborative model in 'our AI Gigafactories,' but it does not explicitly say to create a 'global institute for AI' as such.

The quote clearly implies opposition to restricting the initiative to EU member states: it praises CERN for letting 'the best and the brightest minds in the world' work together and says 'we want the same to happen' in AI Gigafactories, signaling a globally open model rather than an EU-only one.

The quote says CERN lets "the best and the brightest minds in the world" work together, and "we want the same to happen in our AI Gigafactories," implying participation should not be limited to EU member states.

Verified. The official European Commission PDF for SPEECH/25/471 is titled "Speech by President von der Leyen at the Artificial Intelligence Action Summit" (Paris, 11 February 2025), identifying Ursula von der Leyen as the speaker, and it contains the quoted passage verbatim at lines 54-58, continuing immediately into the next sentence after your excerpt.
