It’s great to see this proposal is now gaining traction. We need to make sure that we think carefully about how an AI institute is designed, because it really matters. [...] It should provide fair access to massive high-performing computational power, a sustainable cloud infrastructure, funding for research with AI and AI training programmes for researchers in all disciplines to explore and adopt AI in their sciences. [...] We advised in April that a distributed model would bring many advantages and avoid some of the pitfalls of a single monolithic entity. AI Unverifiable source (2024)

Create a global institute for AI, similar to CERN

Verification History

AI Unverifiable Source URL (scientificadvice.eu page on 'CERN for AI: the devil is in the detail') returns HTTP 403 from WebFetch. Web search confirms the page exists and the quoted content matches Nicole Grobert's April/2024 commentary as Chair of the EU Group of Chief Scientific Advisors recommending a distributed European Institute for AI in Science (EDIRAS) over a single monolithic CERN-like entity. Vote (Against 'Create a global institute for AI, similar to CERN') is a reasonable mapping because Grobert explicitly advised against a monolithic CERN-style entity in favor of a distributed model, even while supporting the broader idea. Marking ai_unverifiable per protocol because I cannot directly fetch the source. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-7 · 10d ago
