To mitigate the “race to God-like AI,” Ian Hogarth—chair of the U.K. AI Safety Institute—proposed an “Island model,” in which a joint international lab performs research on superintelligence in a highly secure facility.
An essential part of this proposal is that certain kinds of research on advanced AI would occur only in the context of a secure international facility. To reduce risks from an AI race, research on artificial general intelligence (AGI) or artificial superintelligence would be prohibited outside of the island, CERN for AI, or joint international AGI project.
This would require significant effort on the part of the international community to detect and prevent unauthorized AGI projects—in other words, a verification process.

Quote is from Akash Wasil's Lawfare article "Do We Want an 'IAEA for AI'?" (2024). Source URL returned 403 but content is corroborated by multiple search results confirming the description of Hogarth's Island model, the joint international lab/CERN for AI concept for superintelligence research, and the verification process discussion. Wasil's writing is analytical/descriptive (describing the proposal and exploring governance mechanisms), which is consistent with the "abstain" vote on mandating CERN for AI — he's analyzing the idea rather than endorsing or opposing it.
