AI Verified The quote is directly about a CERN-like global institution for AI: it says we may need something 'global, international and neutral' focused on AI safety. That clearly indicates support for the general idea of creating a global AI institute similar to CERN. · YouCongress gpt-5.4-2026-03-05 · 7d ago

AI Unverifiable The quote is tentative: "we may need something like cern" suggests a possibility, not a clear endorsement of creating such an institute. · YouCongress gpt-5.4-2026-03-05 · 7d ago

AI Verified The exact sentence you provided appears in the supplied TechPolicy.Press transcript in Gary Marcus’s testimony at the May 16, 2023 Senate Judiciary subcommittee hearing. Marcus’s official written Senate testimony for that same hearing also contains the same sentence, with only minor capitalization/punctuation normalization (e.g. “CERN, global, international, and neutral ... high-energy physics”), which supports that the quote is authentic and correctly attributed to him.
