We want to replicate the success story of the CERN laboratory in Geneva. CERN hosts the largest particle accelerator in the world. And it allows the best and the brightest minds in the world to work together. We want the same to happen in our AI Gigafactories. We provide the infrastructure for large computational power. Researchers, entrepreneurs and investors will be able to join forces. source Verified

First of all, let’s not forget that A.I. is a tremendous opportunity — if used responsibly. But responsibility at the frontier cannot be left to chance or to any single company or country. Just as the world built institutions to govern nuclear power — with the IAEA at the core of a U.N. framework — we should work with partners on a global architecture for A.I. that can set clear rules for the most compute-intensive systems, assess risks, and verify compliance. That means independent testing, shared scientific expertise, and an international authority that can see across borders. Europe will do its part. But only a U.N.-anchored, IAEA‑like approach for the highest‑risk A.I. can give citizens everywhere the confidence that this technology will be safe and trustworthy. (2024) source Unverified
