Hey everyone, let's talk AI! This week, big news came out of Russia. President Putin announced a new alliance with BRICS countries (Brazil, India, China, and South Africa) to develop artificial intelligence (AI). This is a clear attempt to challenge the current dominance of the US and China in this critical technology.
There are a few reasons behind this move. First, Russia wants to be a major player in the AI race. They believe AI can boost their economy by trillions of rubles and equip their workforce with cutting-edge skills. However, Western sanctions have limited their access to crucial hardware like GPUs, which are essential for AI development.
This is where the BRICS alliance comes in. By collaborating with these countries, Russia hopes to pool resources and expertise. The alliance will focus on joint research, developing regulations for AI, and creating markets for AI products within member countries.

While this is a significant step, Russia faces some challenges. Currently, they lag behind not only the US and China but also some BRICS members in terms of AI implementation and investment. Additionally, some experts question whether the alliance will be enough to overcome the technological gap.
One thing's for sure: the competition for AI supremacy is getting hotter. This alliance signifies a potential shift in the global AI landscape. We'll have to keep an eye on how it develops and whether it can truly challenge the current leaders.
