Comment by Holger Hoos
AI professor at RWTH Aachen
A CERN for AI would essentially have three functions. It would serve as a meeting place, a platform for experts to interact and exchange ideas. Second, it would offer a research environment that the various existing research centers, even the large ones, including the Max Planck Institutes, simply cannot finance on their own. Third, it would be a global magnet for talent to create an alternative to the U.S.-based big tech companies. As a public-sector institution, the Center would be accountable to the public and largely seek to solve problems in the public interest.AI Verified source (2023)

The quote is directly about a 'CERN for AI' and describes its functions and public-interest benefits, which clearly indicates support for creating a global AI institute similar to CERN.

The quote clearly endorses the idea by describing what "A CERN for AI would" do and highlighting benefits like a shared research environment, a "global magnet for talent," and serving "the public interest."

The supplied official RWTH Aachen University page is the English article “We Need a CERN for Artificial Intelligence” in the 2023 Annual Report. It identifies the piece as “Speaking to Professor Holger Hoos,” and the passage at lines 652–653 matches the quoted text verbatim in English, attributed in the interview as “Hoos: ...” ([rwth-aachen.de](https://www.rwth-aachen.de/cms/root/wir/aktuell/rwth-jahresbericht-2023/forschung/~bhtunf/-wir-brauchen-ein-cern-fuer-kuenstliche/?lidx=1))

Verified via web search. The source URL returned 403 to WebFetch, but search results from RWTH Aachen's pages and other publications confirm Holger Hoos (AI professor at RWTH Aachen) authored content about a "CERN for AI" with these three functions (meeting place, research environment exceeding Max Planck capabilities, global talent magnet). The vote "against" on allowing for-profit spin-offs aligns with the quote's emphasis on the institution being public-sector, accountable to the public, and acting as an alternative to US-based big tech.
