  "summary": "China will take the lead in fostering artificial intelligence collaboration and development among BRICS countries, according to President Xi Jinping. He proposed creating an open-source zone for artificial intelligence for BRICS countries, which would support cooperation in the development and application of large language models, as well as establish specialised research and training on AI.\n\nThe initiative, part of Xi's \"initiative on open-source and inclusive AI\", aims to build an open ecosystem for AI. Chinese AI companies produce world-leading open-source AI models, whereas US developers have favoured closed-door approaches, Investing.com and Malay Mail reported.\n\nXi also called for a broad, consensus-based global AI governance framework. The BRICS bloc, which includes China, Russia and India, was created in 2006, originally as a forum for major emerging economies seeking greater influence in institutions dominated by Western powers, although Malay Mail said 2009.",
