To effectively address the pressing issue of technological sovereignty in AI, a coalition of EU member states and like-minded countries should commit themselves to creating a CERN for AI worthy of the name.Disputed source (2026)

The source credits Morten Irgens and Holger Hoos as co-authors; it cannot be verified as a single-author quote attributed only to Irgens.

The quote appears verbatim in the cited Science|Business article at the provided URL, but the article is dated 2026-01-29 and is attributed to two individual authors, “Morten Irgens and Holger Hoos,” not to Morten Irgens alone. Because this platform cannot verify a multi-author quote as a single-author quote, the stored attribution is disputed.

The sentence appears verbatim at the cited Science|Business URL, in an article published on 29 Jan 2026. However, the byline credits the piece to both Morten Irgens and Holger Hoos, so it is not strictly attributable to Morten Irgens alone. The quote is real, but the single-author attribution is materially incomplete. ([sciencebusiness.net](https://sciencebusiness.net/viewpoint/ai/viewpoint-eus-cern-ai-nothing-sort))

Source URL returned 403 to WebFetch, but web search confirms the quote attribution. Morten Irgens (co-founder/Vice-Chair of CAIRNE) authored the Science|Business viewpoint titled "Viewpoint: the EU's 'CERN for AI' is nothing of the sort" advocating that a coalition of EU member states AND like-minded (non-EU) countries should create a CERN for AI. The vote 'against' the statement "Restrict the CERN for AI initiative to EU member states" aligns correctly with his position, since he explicitly argues for inclusion of like-minded non-EU countries.
