The European Commission has agreed Europe needs such a body for AI, and claims to have delivered it in recent announcements. But in reality, it has not established anything resembling a CERN for AI.

Quote attributed to Morten Irgens (co-founder/Vice-Chair of CAIRNE/CLAIRE). The source_url (sciencebusiness.net "Viewpoint: the EU's 'CERN for AI' is nothing of the sort") returned HTTP 403 to automated fetching, but web search corroborated the article exists under that exact title authored by Irgens, and confirmed the quote near-verbatim: he argues that while "the European Commission has agreed Europe needs such a body for AI and claims to have delivered it in recent announcements, in reality, it has not established anything resembling a CERN for AI." Author attribution confirmed. Vote alignment correct: Irgens advocates creating a genuine CERN for AI, supporting the statement "Create a global institute for AI, similar to CERN" — matching the "for" vote.
