Expert opinions on CERN for AI

The establishment of the WAICO [...] is a major move by China to answer the call of the Global South and unite the international community together to promote vigorously AI development and governance. It will be an important milestone in the history ...

But the main regret I have with this talk is that I wish I had prepared a more for the section on a “CERN for AI.” The idea behind such a project is to pool many countries’ and companies’ resources into a single (possibly physically decentralized) ci...

Currently, so many needs for innovation are put under the label of AI that there will be no way to address them with a single organisation.

Creating even a microscopic black hole or wormhole would require an accelerator the size of the whole universe, say researchers.

Scientists’ conclusions about risk cannot be taken at face value. Their assurances must be discounted by the probability of their own error. [...] It does not follow that LHC risk is zero: An accurate assessment of risk must include the possibility t...

Theoretical calculations show that the LHC could produce two kinds of dark matter—black holes and strange, ultradense quark matter—that are extremely dangerous, as both have been theoretically proven to swallow in a chain reaction the entirety of Ear...

Create a single, dedicated talent hub, accompanied by 1-5 separate compute hubs;

A semi-distributed structure, with a few core facilities, leveraging members' comparative advantages. Core facilities—fewer in number than the participating states—are necessary to create a critical mass of talent. Similarly, distributed compute can ...

Coordinated deployment of existing, planned, and within-reach European and other bridge power AI compute capacity is likely to provide sufficient computational resources to produce frontier AI models in the next few years, although significantly more...

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...

Well, there are positive signs, for instance, like Henry Kissinger was recently suggested in foreign affairs that the US cooperate with China on this issue now, but before it's too late. So I think some people are recognizing the the importance of tr...

I call on the governments of the world to take immediate action to end this danger by permanently banning the development of artificial general intelligence and machine superintelligence.
