While the modalities of funding and mandate for this #AIforAll should be the subject of further deliberations, the proposed centre should ideally be funded by a mix of government funding and contributions from large companies pursuing AI (GAFAM, BATX etc.). Where should this centre be located? Nowhere and everywhere. While the CERN had the requirements of physical facilities such as the Large Hadron Collider, #AIforAll could be distributed across different regions and countries. The Government of India, through NITI Aayog, can be the coordinating agency for initial funding and setting up the requisite mandates and human and computing resources. AI Unverifiable source (2018)

The CERN for AI should have a central hub in one location

Verification History

AI Unverifiable Source URL on Scribd returns 403 to WebFetch. Multiple alternative URLs (niti.gov.in, indiaai.gov.in, academia.edu) for the 2018 NITI Aayog National Strategy for AI Discussion Paper also blocked. Web searches confirm the document exists and uses #AIforAll branding, with two-tier institutional structure (CORE and ICTAI) consistent with the quote's substance of a distributed approach, but I could not directly verify the exact wording "Nowhere and everywhere" or the GAFAM/BATX phrasing. The "against" vote on a single central hub is consistent with the distributed philosophy described. Year is 2018; no more recent comparable NITI Aayog quote on hub centralisation was found in my searches. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-7 · 1d ago
