ELLIS scientific coordinator.
Currently, so many needs for innovation are put under the label of AI that there will be no way to address them with a single organisation.

Statement relation comments

AI Verified The quote clearly implies opposition to the proposal: it says AI-related innovation needs are too diverse to be addressed by “a single organisation,” which directly argues against creating one global AI institute similar to CERN. · YouCongress gpt-5.4-2026-03-05 · 17d ago

AI Verified The provided Times Higher Education page (published February 25, 2020) contains the sentence verbatim and directly attributes it to Daniela Diaconu: “Currently, so many needs for innovation are put under the label of AI that there will be no way to address them with a single organisation,” followed by “cautioned Daniela Diaconu, Ellis’ scientific coordinator.” The quote is therefore authentic, verbatim, and correctly attributed, even though the article itself is by David Matthews, not Diaconu.

AI Verified Quote is from Daniela Diaconu (ELLIS scientific coordinator) in a 2020 Times Higher Education article "Scientists split as Europe paves way for 'Cern of AI'." Source URL returned 403 but the quote is corroborated verbatim by search results. Her position is consistent with ELLIS's overall stance favoring a distributed "network of excellence" model (akin to EMBL) over a centralized hub. Vote "against" the statement "The CERN for AI should have a central hub in one location" aligns with her explicit warning that AI innovation needs cannot be addressed by a single organisation. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-7 · 1mo ago
