China’s Xi proposes BRICS ‘open-source AI zone’
The proposal was part of the Chinese leader’s broader 'initiative on open-source and inclusive AI'.
China's President Xi Jinping announced plans to establish an open-source zone for artificial intelligence (AI) among the BRICS countries during a summit in New Delhi on Sunday. The initiative aims to promote collaboration and inclusivity in the development and application of large language models, with a focus on building an open ecosystem for AI.
Chinese AI companies are currently leading the way in producing world-class open-source AI models, while US developers have often favored closed-door approaches. Xi also emphasized the importance of establishing a broad, consensus-based global AI governance framework, signaling his intention to engage with the US on this critical issue.
The BRICS group, consisting of China, Russia, India, Brazil, and South Africa, was formed in 2009 as a platform for major emerging economies seeking greater influence in institutions dominated by Western powers.
