The key is using data and AI, governed in a fair and democratic way, and deployed for democratic deliberation, not to increased clicks, polarising public opinions and monetizing users’ data. This is the opposite of the public interest. Europe needs a kind of “CERN” or “Manhattan Project” for artificial intelligence: A large-scale, globally cooperative effort to advance human centered AI technology under democratic control, to tackle humanity’s planetary challenges.

AI Verified The quote directly supports the statement: it says Europe needs a kind of “CERN” for AI and describes it as a “large-scale, globally cooperative effort” under democratic control, which clearly aligns with creating a global AI institute similar to CERN. · YouCongress gpt-5.4-2026-03-05 · 17d ago

AI Verified The quote clearly implies opposition to restricting the initiative to EU member states: it calls for a European AI 'CERN' that is a 'large-scale, globally cooperative effort,' which conflicts with limiting participation only to EU countries. · YouCongress gpt-5.4-2026-03-05 · 17d ago

AI Verified Verified. The cited Medium page, published on Francesca Bria’s account on August 1, 2023, contains the passage verbatim, including the phrasing “not to increased clicks” and the “CERN”/“Manhattan Project” sentence. In the interview text, the passage appears in Bria’s response marked “FB,” so it is correctly attributed to Francesca Bria.
