TREE NEWS update: Chinese President Xi Jinping proposed five initiatives on deepening BRICS cooperation at the 18th BRICS Leaders’ Meeting in New Delhi on September 13, including an AI open-source sharing initiative, a trade and investment facilitation initiative, a digital industry cooperation initiative, a smart manufacturing cooperation initiative and a science and technology talent initiative. Xi said BRICS must keep industrial and supply chains stable and smooth and build an integrated large market, letting emerging technologies light the path to shared prosperity.
Xi Jinping Proposes Five BRICS Cooperation Initiatives, Including AI Open-Source Sharing
AI take
The AI open-source sharing proposal is the most consequential element, since it positions BRICS as a potential alternative venue for AI capability-building outside existing Western-dominated open-source ecosystems. The accompanying trade, digital industry, smart manufacturing and talent initiatives suggest this is less a single announcement than a coordinated framework aimed at reducing dependence on incumbent supply chains. Whether any of it moves beyond declaration into shared infrastructure or common standards is the open question, and it matters most for emerging-market developers and firms weighing which stack to build on.
