Second, take the lead in promoting trade liberalization, respecting the legitimate and legal rights and interests of countries. To enhance strategic autonomy, BRICS and Southern countries need to increase market opening, promote supply chain linkages, mobilize and share resources, support technology transfer and human resource training for projects in healthcare, education, digital infrastructure, green transformation, and climate change adaptation.

Third, pioneering the development of the power of artificial intelligence (AI) to serve humans, not replace them. BRICS needs to work with multilateral mechanisms to promote the construction of a global AI governance system that is fair, secure, safe, and accessible. Building an AI ecosystem that adheres to ethical values, balancing innovation and social benefits. Cooperating in building digital infrastructure, green and high-performance data centers; developing high-quality human resources, AI programs for the community, helping all people access and benefit from AI.
