Comment by Chatham House
International affairs think tank
Proponents of a CERN-like body for AI have called for its creation as a way to build safer AI systems, enable more international coordination in AI development, and reduce dependencies on private industry labs for the development of safe and ethical AI systems. Rather than creating its own AI systems, some argue, a CERN-like institution could focus specifically on research into AI safety.
Some advocates, such as computer scientist Gary Marcus, also argue that the CERN model could help advance AI safety research beyond the capacity of any one firm or nation. The new institution could bring together top talent under a mission grounded in principles of scientific openness, adherence to a pluralist view of human values (such as the collective goals of the UN’s 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development), and responsible innovation.

Source URL https://www.chathamhouse.org/2024/06/artificial-intelligence-and-challenge-global-governance/02-cern-ai-what-might-international returns HTTP 403 Forbidden when accessed via WebFetch, so I cannot positively confirm the exact wording at the source. Notes for human reviewer: (1) Web search results confirm this Chatham House report (June 2024) discusses a CERN for AI in a section titled "A 'CERN for AI' – what might an international AI research organization address?", and the framing/content of the quote is consistent with that report. (2) The quote is descriptive — it summarizes proponents' arguments rather than stating Chatham House's own institutional position, which makes vote attribution ("against") harder to assess from this passage alone. (3) The "against" vote on "Mandate the CERN for AI to build safe superintelligence" is plausibly defensible because the quote explicitly notes "Rather than creating its own AI systems, some argue, a CERN-like institution could focus specifically on research into AI safety" — i.e., the proponents described favor a safety-research mandate, not a build-superintelligence mandate. Recommend human review to confirm Chatham House's institutional stance and the exact source text.
