Xi says China will take lead to foster AI, tech cooperation among BRICS countries

China will take the lead in fostering artificial intelligence collaboration and development among BRICS countries, according to President Xi Jinping. He proposed creating a BRICS community focused on open-source AI, supporting cooperation on the development and application of large language models, as well as seminars and training programs for member countries.

The proposal is part of China's initiative on open-source and inclusive AI, which aims to build an open ecosystem for AI. According to Investing.com, this approach contrasts with closed-model approaches used by some leading American developers.

Xi also called for establishing a broad, consensus-based global AI governance framework. A joint declaration issued by the BRICS group called for international cooperation to increase access to AI resources and address safety, security, inclusiveness, and reliability.
