Brazil Launches Major AI Development Program at BRICS Forum
At the recent BRICS High Level Forum on AI, co-organized with China, Brazil introduced a new national artificial intelligence (AI) program focused on ethical, sustainable, and independent technology development. This initiative highlights Brazil's commitment to advancing its AI capabilities within the Global South.
The program includes the deployment of one of the world's five most powerful supercomputers, which will be powered by renewable energy sources. This infrastructure aims to support high-performance computing needs and foster innovation across key sectors.
Focus on Infrastructure and Talent Development
Henrique Miguel, representing Brazil's Ministry of Science, Technology, and Innovation, outlined the strategy to build advanced infrastructure and develop highly skilled professionals. The program also plans to collaborate internationally to create high-performance processors, supporting Brazil’s technology independence.
"Our goal is to provide Brazil with advanced infrastructure, train highly skilled professionals and stimulate innovation in strategic sectors," said Miguel.
BRICS Cooperation on AI Technologies
During the forum, member countries shared analytical reports on AI development prospects and compiled a compendium of AI products and applications. Brazil stressed the importance of deeper cooperation in several technological areas:
- Semiconductors
- Large language models
- Quantum technologies
- Data management
This collaborative approach aims to enhance innovation capacity and technological sovereignty among BRICS nations.
Brazil's efforts reflect a strategic push to strengthen its position in AI research and development, aligning with global trends toward sustainable and responsible technology deployment.
