The quote directly mentions a “‘CERN for AI’ initiative” and describes it positively as “groundbreaking,” implying support for creating a global AI institute similar to CERN.

The quote positively proposes a "groundbreaking 'CERN for AI' initiative" and says fortytwo "could be the cornerstone" of it, which clearly supports the idea.

Verified. The official hessian.AI page dated June 15, 2023 contains the exact sentence “fortytwo could be the cornerstone for a groundbreaking ‘CERN for AI’ initiative.” immediately followed by the attribution “Kristian Kersting, Co-Director hessian.AI.” The matching official press-release PDF dated 06-15-2023 repeats the same wording and attribution.

Web search confirms the exact quote attributed to Kristian Kersting (Co-Director of hessian.AI): "fortytwo could be the cornerstone for a groundbreaking 'CERN for AI' initiative." The hessian.AI source URL returned 403 to WebFetch but multiple secondary sources (TU Darmstadt, LinkedIn posts) confirm. The "for" vote on a central hub is consistent with Kersting positioning a specific supercomputer (fortytwo) as the "cornerstone" of the initiative — a single anchor facility. Year 2023; no contradictory recent statement found.
