  "summary": "Chinese President Xi Jinping has called for a global AI governance framework based on consensus. He also proposed that China will take the lead in establishing a BRICS AI open-source community, with the goal of fostering collaboration and development among developing countries. This initiative is part of a broader effort to create an open ecosystem for AI, providing lower-cost alternatives to US technology.\n\nThe idea of a cooperative approach to AI governance has been echoed by South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, who has suggested that BRICS countries should establish an international mechanism for the independent scientific evaluation of AI. According to Ramaphosa, as reported by The Peninsula Qatar Business, such a mechanism should be backed by principles of human control, mandatory reporting of serious incidents, and safeguards that increase in strength as AI capabilities grow.\n\nChina's approach to AI development contrasts with that of key US developers, such as OpenAI and Anthropic, which have adopted closed models. The Hindustan Times reports that Xi's proposal for an open-source AI community includes support for cooperation in developing and applying large language models, as well as holding specialized AI seminars and training courses.",
