Comment by Ursula von der Leyen

AI will improve our healthcare, spur our research and innovation and boost our competitiveness. We want AI to be a force for good and for growth. [...] This is why, together with our Member States and with our partners, we will mobilise unprecedented capital through InvestAI for European AI gigafactories. This unique public-private partnership, akin to a CERN for AI, will enable all our scientists and companies – not just the biggest - to develop the most advanced very large models needed to make Europe an AI continent.

Verification History

AI Verified Verified via web search. The quote is directly confirmed verbatim from Ursula von der Leyen's announcement at the AI Action Summit in Paris (February 11, 2025) launching the InvestAI initiative. Both paragraphs are confirmed: "AI will improve our healthcare, spur our research and innovation and boost our competitiveness" and the "public-private partnership, akin to a CERN for AI" framing with "all our scientists and companies – not just the biggest" appears verbatim across multiple independent sources. The vote "for" the statement "Grant member states majority governance control in the CERN for AI" aligns - von der Leyen explicitly mentions working "together with our Member States and with our partners" and the EU Commission's structure inherently relies on member state governance.
