Comment by Miles Brundage
AI policy researcher; founder of AVERI (AI Verification Initiative); former OpenAI Head of Policy Research
But the main regret I have with this talk is that I wish I had prepared a more for the section on a “CERN for AI.” The idea behind such a project is to pool many countries’ and companies’ resources into a single (possibly physically decentralized) civilian AI development effort, with the purpose of ensuring that this technology is designed securely, safely, and in the global interest. In this post, I will go into more detail on why I’m excited about the general idea of a CERN for AI, and I’ll describe one specific version of it that appeals to me. I’ll start with what I actually said in the talk and then go much deeper. I’m not totally sure that this is the right overall plan for frontier AI governance, but I think it deserves serious consideration.AI Verified source (Dec 11, 2024)

The quote is directly about a 'CERN for AI'—a global AI institute—and shows the author’s stance on that full idea. They say they are 'excited about the general idea' and that a version of it 'appeals to me,' while adding uncertainty about whether it is the best overall governance plan. That is still a clear, qualified positive stance on the complete statement.

The quote shows interest but explicit uncertainty: the author is "excited about the general idea" yet says "I’m not totally sure that this is the right overall plan... but I think it deserves serious consideration."

Verified. The provided Substack page contains the quoted passage verbatim in the introduction (lines 30–31), and the post byline identifies the author as Miles Brundage with the publication date Dec 11, 2024 (lines 12–15). The stored author, date, source URL, and quote text match the source. ([milesbrundage.substack.com](https://milesbrundage.substack.com/p/my-recent-lecture-at-berkeley-and))

Disputed
Miles Brundage’s official Substack post dated December 11, 2024 contains this passage, and the blog.biocomm.ai page is a December 13, 2024 mirror, so the attribution to Brundage is correct. But the source text includes an extra sentence — “I’ll start with what I actually said in the talk and then go much deeper.” — between the last two sentences of the supplied quote. Because that omission is not marked with [...], the quote is not verbatim as presented. ([milesbrundage.substack.com](https://milesbrundage.substack.com/p/my-recent-lecture-at-berkeley-and))

Verified. blog.biocomm.ai URL returned 403 but web search results confirm: (1) Miles Brundage's Substack post "My recent lecture at Berkeley and a vision for a 'CERN for AI'" exists at the canonical milesbrundage.substack.com URL, mirrored on blog.biocomm.ai with date 2024-12-13 (year 2024 correct); (2) the exact quoted sentence appears verbatim in search-result excerpts — "to pool many countries' and companies' resources into a single (possibly physically decentralized) civilian AI development effort, with the purpose of ensuring that this technology is designed securely, safely, and in the global interest"; (3) Miles Brundage is former OpenAI Head of Policy Research and founder of AVERI (matches biography). Vote "for" on "Create a global institute for AI, similar to CERN" perfectly aligns with the post's explicit enthusiasm for the CERN-for-AI concept ("why I'm excited about the general idea of a CERN for AI").
