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

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

We will refer to such a lab as the Global Public Benefit AI Lab (or "Lab"). The Lab will be an open, public-private, democratically-governed consortium, aimed at achieving and sustaining a solid global leadership or co-leadership in human-controllab... more Unverified source

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 Unverified 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 Unverified source

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... more Unverified source (2024)

[...] calls for a CERN-like open-source collaboration among the United States and allied countries to establish an international "supercomputing research facility". Unverified 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. Unverified source (2025)

"Normally this initiative is aimed at EU countries," said a European Commission spokeswoman via email, Unverified source (2025)

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

The idea of just creating a bunch of big companies with venture capital behind them and they fight it out isn’t the only paradigm. [...] If Switzerland uses 10,000 of its research GPUs and Canada puts forward its research computers, and these resourc... more Unverified 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 Unverified source (2025)
