I tentatively think that an international AGI project is feasible and desirable. [...] My favourite version of an international AGI project is loosely modelled on Intelsat, an international project that developed the first global satellite communicat... more Unverified source (2026)

[...] calls for a CERN-like open-source collaboration among the United States and allied countries to establish an international "supercomputing research facility". AI Verified source (2023)

Through the different interactions we had with the scientific community, we thought the best way forward is to have networking of what exists in Europe and strengthening of what exists, instead of creating new infrastructures. AI Verified source (2025)

I would like to see a CERN for AI [...] where all the top scientists come together and see whether they can make a super intelligence. And, if they can, they contain it into a system where it can't just go out and persuade people to let it run the wo... more Unverified source (2026)

To mitigate the “race to God-like AI,” Ian Hogarth—chair of the U.K. AI Safety Institute—proposed an “Island model,” in which a joint international lab performs research on superintelligence in a highly secure facility. An essential part of this pro... more AI Verified source (2024)

So the the prototypical situation I'm imagining here is you know there's a kind of one ai project, which is you know somewhat ahead of the others, and maybe it it goes through intelligence explosion, whereas which by which I mean kind of AI can autom... more AI Verified source (2025)

Kersting argues that Europe urgently needs a central institution to coordinate and advance the development of trustworthy, European-made AI technologies. AI Verified source (2025)

In response, Europe has launched "InvestAI," a €20 billion plan to build 4–5 AI gigafactories across EU member states by end of 2025. AI Verified source (2025)

That's why we need a CERN-like not-for-profit body driving forward international AI research," he said. AI Verified source (2025)

We must take the risks of AI as seriously as other major global challenges, like climate change. It took the international community too long to coordinate an effective global response to this, and we’re living with the consequences of that now. We c... more AI Verified source (2023)

Because, you know, those things are, those things, people want those things. People want compute. They want data. And humans are humans and we do compete. And it’s important to convene people so that we dilute that ability of competition, because thi... more AI Verified source (2025)

It’s a CERN or DARPA for AI. Many of the US’s biggest technological innovations in the 20th century came out of the research labs at firms like AT&T, Xerox, and IBM. But those firms still had profits in their sights, not societal goals. DARPA, howeve... more AI Verified source (2025)

In our initial report, we estimated that establishing CERN for AI requires €30–35 billion over the first three years—an investment that would yield cascading benefits for Europe’s future. The initiative would be funded primarily through core contribu... more AI Verified source (2025)
