EU science advisers back call for a 'CERN for AI' to aid research
Scientific advisors to the European Commission have recommended that the EU set up a “CERN for AI” to help scientists develop artificial intelligence tools to accelerate their research. The Group of Chief Scientific Advisors, worried that AI research is dominated by private tech giants, wants the Commission to fund a “state-of-the-art facility for academic research in Europe”.
Scientific advisors to the European Commission have recommended that the EU set up a “CERN for AI” to help scientists develop artificial intelligence tools to accelerate their research. EDIRAS would give researchers “massive” high-performing computation power, a sustainable cloud infrastructure, high quality data, talent and training, says the advisory group, formally called the Scientific Advice Mechanism (SAM), in a report handed to the Commission today. Kimmo Koski, CEO of CSC-IT Centre for Science in Finland and coordinator of the consortium which manages the LUMI supercomputer, said a distributed institute would make the most sense, and pointed out that most CERN scientists today are based around the world.
