China wants to create a BRICS open-source AI ecosystem. Where does India fit?
President Xi Jinping proposed the establishment of a BRICS open-source artificial intelligence (AI) community during the BRICS Summit in New Delhi, offering support for cooperation on large language models, AI training, and a common digital cloud platform. While the proposal may benefit India, which has also been investing in domestic AI infrastructure and foundation models, the New Delhi Declaration did not officially endorse the idea.
China's focus on open-source AI models and access for developing countries comes amid growing competition with the United States, and could be revisited when China assumes the BRICS chairship in 2027.
