The initiative, which was founded in June 2018, advocates an "AI made in Europe" that takes fundamental European values into account. As a European response to the global AI competition, it brings together stakeholders from research, industry, politics, and society throughout Europe and involves them in the discussion of new research topics, technologies and solutions. CLAIRE's concrete objectives include the further development of competence centers, which will be strategically distributed across Europe, and a central hub, data and compute infrastructure as CERN for AI. “CERN is an excellent example of what we want to achieve with CLAIRE. Nuclear research is carried out by many excellent researchers and laboratories spread across Europe and the world. But through coordination, their research gains much more influence and recognition in all fields.” (2019) source Unverified
