Comment by Ursula von der Leyen

The quote says CERN lets 'the best and the brightest minds in the world' work together and that the author wants the same for AI. That clearly implies opposition to restricting a CERN-like AI initiative only to EU member states.

The quote praises CERN for letting 'the best and the brightest minds in the world' work together and says 'We want the same to happen in our AI Gigafactories,' which points against limiting participation only to EU member states.

The official European Commission PDF at the provided URL, titled "Speech by President von der Leyen at the Artificial Intelligence Action Summit," is dated Paris, 11 February 2025, and it contains the exact passage beginning "CERN hosts the largest particle accelerator..." and ending "...our AI Gigafactories." ([ec.europa.eu](https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/api/files/document/print/en/speech_25_471/SPEECH_25_471_EN.pdf)) A same-day Commission press release identifies the speaker as Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.

Disputed
The Science|Business page does contain the submitted wording and attributes it to von der Leyen, but the official European Commission transcript of her 11 February 2025 AI Action Summit speech reads: “And it allows the best and the brightest minds in the world to work together. We want the same to happen in our AI Gigafactories.” The submitted quote changes “it” to “[CERN]” and adds “And” before “we want,” so it is not verbatim to the primary source.

AI Unverifiable
The source URL (sciencebusiness.net) and the official EC speech PDF both returned HTTP 403 Forbidden and could not be fetched. However, the quote is independently confirmed via multiple web search results: Ursula von der Leyen stated at the 2025 AI Action Summit in Paris that CERN "allows the best and the brightest minds in the world to work together" and that she wants "the same to happen in our AI gigafactories." Vote alignment is correct (against "Restrict the CERN for AI initiative to EU member states" - she explicitly invokes "minds in the world" collaboration, the opposite of EU-only restriction). Year is 2025, current. Marking ai_unverifiable since source URLs block AI fetching.
