Chinese President Xi Jinping has proposed creating an open-source artificial intelligence community within BRICS, aiming to boost cooperation among member countries on AI development and deployment. The proposal includes collaboration on large language models, AI training and a shared digital cloud platform. The initiative could help BRICS nations reduce dependence on AI technologies dominated by US companies and strengthen technological self-reliance. For India, the plan offers an opportunity to shape shared AI infrastructure and promote its own digital capabilities. However, differences within BRICS over technology, geopolitics and China’s growing influence could pose challenges to deeper cooperation. (PC: X)
