BRICS AI Cooperation

BRICS cooperation on AI combines efforts to influence international governance with practical plans for shared research, computing infrastructure, data platforms, and multilingual AI development.

The bloc’s governance positions include trustworthy AI, data protection, human oversight, digital sovereignty, and the right to development, alongside stronger participation by developing countries in global rule-setting. Agreements and proposals—from the BRICS Perspective on AI Governance to standardization work and the Chennai Declaration—show how policy coordination and capacity-building are linked. Initiatives such as BRICS GRAIN envision connecting facilities, researchers, and datasets for applications including health, agriculture, and climate forecasting.
