  "summary": "China's President Xi Jinping proposed the creation of an open-source AI zone for BRICS countries during a summit in New Delhi, according to a report by Free Malaysia Today. The initiative aims to support cooperation in the development and application of large language models and establish specialized research and training on AI for BRICS nations. Xi also called for a broad, consensus-based global AI governance framework, suggesting that AI governance discussions may be part of his upcoming talks with US President Donald Trump. The BRICS bloc, comprising China, Russia, and India, was established in 2009 as a forum for major emerging economies seeking to gain greater influence in institutions dominated by Western powers.",
