Comment by Brookings Institution

For joint R&D, recommendation R15 of the progress report called for development of “common criteria and governance arrangements for international large-scale AI R&D projects,” with the Human Genome Project (HGP) and the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) as examples of the scale and ambition needed. “Joint research and development applying to large-scale global problems such as climate change or disease prevention and treatment can have two valuable effects: It can bring additional resources to the solution of pressing global challenges, and the collaboration can help to find common ground in addressing differences in approaches to AI.” AI Verified source (2022)

Verification History

AI Verified Verified. Direct WebFetch to brookings.edu returned 403, but Google web search returned the exact quoted passages — both the R15 recommendation citing CERN/HGP as examples and the "Joint research and development applying to large-scale global problems..." passage — confirming the source URL "https://www.brookings.edu/articles/ai-cooperation-on-the-ground-ai-research-and-development-on-a-global-scale/" contains the quote. Article is dated December 2, 2022. Author attribution to Brookings Institution is correct (article hosted on brookings.edu under their AI cooperation initiative). The "for" vote on the statement "Create a global institute for AI, similar to CERN" aligns with the quote, which explicitly endorses CERN-scale international AI R&D collaboration. Searched for a more recent Brookings position to potentially replace; did not find a clearer 2025/2026 statement on the same topic from this author, so kept the 2022 source and set year accordingly. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-7 · 11d ago
