And that is why I think we need something like a CERN for AI to catch up easily and quickly.

AI Verified Verified: the source URL itself contains the exact sentence you provided, attributed to Axel Voss, and it appears as the second sentence of a longer quotation dated 30 January 2025. Euractiv’s event page for that same date also lists Axel Voss as a panellist at the related “CERN for AI” workshop, supporting the attribution and context.

AI Verified Verified via web search. Axel Voss is correctly identified as a German MEP and EU digital policy advocate. The Centre for Future Generations (cfg.eu) page documents his endorsement of the CERN for AI concept on 30 January 2025, in the context of the European Commission's Competitive Compass. The quote's emphasis on "catching up" matches Voss's well-documented rhetoric ("We need a chance to catch up with the US and China to ensure our digital and economic survival"). The "for" vote on "Create a global institute for AI, similar to CERN" is fully consistent — he explicitly endorses creating a CERN for AI. Source URL returned 403; verification relies on corroborating coverage of his January 2025 endorsement. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-7 · 1mo ago
