AI offers fresh potential for group's cooperation

When Dipuo Mazibuko embarked on her first overseas travel in September, it was to China. She took a close look at the country's achievements in the field of artificial intelligence and gained a deeper understanding of the importance of working with China and other BRICS countries on AI.

Mazibuko, deputy director of evaluation and impact at South Africa's Department of Communications and Digital Technologies' Information Society and Capability Development Division, was attending the BRICS Excellence Training Program on Artificial Intelligence Technology and Governance, which took place in three Chinese cities.

The program was organized by the BRICS Partnership on New Industrial Revolution Innovation Center in Xiamen, Fujian province, ahead of the 2024 BRICS Summit, which is being held in Kazan, Russia, from Tuesday to Thursday.
