China's Xi Jinping proposes BRICS 'open-source AI zone'
China will lead the creation of an "open-source zone for artificial intelligence" for BRICS countries, President Xi Jinping said on Sunday at a summit of the 11-nation group in New Delhi.
Chinese President Xi Jinping has unveiled plans for a BRICS open-source artificial intelligence (AI) zone, aiming to foster international collaboration and democratize AI technology. According to a statement from state broadcaster CCTV, Xi emphasized the importance of open-source AI and inclusive AI development during his speech.
The proposal includes supporting cooperation in the creation and use of large language models, as well as establishing specialized research and training programs for BRICS nations. The BRICS bloc, comprising China, Russia, India, Brazil, and South Africa, was established in 2009 to enhance the influence of major emerging economies in institutions dominated by Western powers.
In addition to the open-source AI zone, Xi called for the creation of a broad, consensus-based global AI governance framework to ensure responsible development and use of the technology. Xi is currently scheduled to visit the United States this month for talks with President Donald Trump, where AI governance is expected to be a key topic of discussion as concerns about the rapid advancement of AI technology and its potential risks grow.
