This report proposes a "CERN for AI," a large-scale, pan-European public-private initiative to boost Europe's competitiveness in advanced artificial intelligence.
The authors argue that Europe lags behind the US and China due to insufficient funding and a fragmented ecosystem, advocating for a centralized institution with substantial funding (€30-35 billion over three years) to develop trustworthy AI.
Key components include access to frontier computational infrastructure, strong leadership, dedicated talent hubs, robust security measures, and effective public-private partnerships. The report explores the economic and geopolitical benefits, emphasizing the need for strategic autonomy and addressing security concerns related to AI.
Ultimately, it aims to show how a CERN for AI can address Europe's economic and security challenges while promoting ethical AI development.
