Johannesburg - South African President Cyril Ramaphosa has advocated for a cooperative, safe, and inclusive AI framework among BRICS nations, according to local media reports on Sunday. The South African Broadcasting Corporation, citing Ramaphosa's remarks at the 18th BRICS Summit in New Delhi, India, stated that the president emphasized the need for human governance to keep pace with the rapid growth of AI.
Ramaphosa proposed that BRICS establish an international mechanism for the independent scientific evaluation of AI. He explained that AI models' capabilities are becoming increasingly powerful and are rapidly transforming various sectors of economic and social life. The president highlighted the potential of AI to usher in a new era of productivity and human progress.
To ensure responsible AI development, Ramaphosa outlined several key principles. These include implementing meaningful human-control mechanisms, mandating the reporting of serious incidents, progressively strengthening safeguards as AI capabilities increase, and simultaneously investing in sovereign AI capacity for developing economy countries.
