Comment by CLAIRE (Confederation of Laboratories for AI Research in Europe)

Artificial Intelligence is transforming our world, and Europe must take bold steps to ensure its leadership in this critical field. CAIRNE envisions a “CERN for AI”—a pan-European initiative that will create a distributed network of AI research centers, with a central hub serving as a focal point for collaboration, innovation, and ethical AI development. [...] Creating a CERN for AI will require strong commitment and investment from European governments, industry leaders, and research institutions. Key steps include: Establishing an independent AI research organization; building state-of-the-art infrastructure; developing European AI standards; and attracting and retaining top AI talent.
