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. AI Verified source (2026)

Verification History

AI Verified 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. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-7 · 4h ago
