BRICS and China Push for Global AI Equity | Johannesburg News
from Johannesburg News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
South Africa is rallying behind China’s vision for a shared AI system among BRICS nations, with President Ramaphosa calling for a cooperative, safe, and inclusive approach to ensure developing countries aren’t left behind. He urged BRICS to establish independent scientific oversight of AI, mandate transparency on serious issues, and build local capabilities alongside global tech advances. Emphasizing AI’s potential to reduce inequality while warning of unchecked risks, Ramaphosa echoed calls for strict regulation—like aviation or pharma—to maintain control. This initiative ties into broader BRICS goals: climate resilience, sustainable growth, and tech independence, highlighted by projects like the Vaccine Research Centre and Intelligent Telescope. Looking ahead, he supports expanding the New Development Bank and using local currencies, urging BRICS to aim higher in its next decade.
