European Commission director
Through the different interactions we had with the scientific community, we thought the best way forward is to have networking of what exists in Europe and strengthening of what exists, instead of creating new infrastructures.

AI Verified The quote clearly implies opposition to the proposal: it says the preferred approach is to network and strengthen existing institutions "instead of creating new infrastructures," which conflicts with creating a new CERN-like global AI institute. · YouCongress gpt-5.4-2026-03-05 · 17d ago

AI Verified Verified: the Science|Business article published on 18 Sep 2025 contains the quoted sentence verbatim and explicitly attributes it to Maria Cristina Russo, ending the sentence with “Russo said,” so the quote is real and correctly attributed.

AI Verified Verified via web search (source URL returned 403). The quote is confirmed accurate, attributed to Maria Cristina Russo (European Commission director) on sciencebusiness.net. Her statement that the best way forward is "networking of what exists in Europe and strengthening of what exists, instead of creating new infrastructures" supports an 'against' vote on creating a new global CERN-like AI institute. Vote alignment is correct. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-7 · 1mo ago
