Expert opinions on CERN for AI

From my perspective, digital sovereignty means the ability to exercise choice, control and governance across data, operational, technical and legal layers. This is not about technological isolation or excluding global partners. Europe must remain ope...

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. [...] When 12 European nations established ...

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.

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.

Together with Prof. Holger Hoos (RWTH Aachen), Kersting argues that Europe urgently needs a central institution to coordinate and advance the development of trustworthy, European-made AI technologies.

Unlike CERN, which focuses on fundamental research, the EU’s new AI centre will also concentrate on innovation and technology production, areas which Europe – including Switzerland – has yet to strengthen. This is why the project envisages a network ...
