China’s President Xi Jinping proposes creating an “open-source zone for artificial intelligence” for BRICS countries. He raises the idea at a summit of the 11-nation BRICS group in New Delhi, outlining plans for China to help lead the initiative.

The proposal is presented as part of a wider Chinese effort focused on “open-source and inclusive AI.” Euronews reports that Xi frames the move as a BRICS-wide approach, while Free Malaysia Today emphasizes it as part of a broader initiative under that same theme. Both accounts describe the proposal as a political and cooperative step rather than a detailed technical plan, with the emphasis on openness and shared development among participating countries.
