Policy & Safety
Beijing and Chinese AI researchers agree that advanced artificial intelligence creates serious risks, but they reject a strategy that seeks to limit China while preserving a US lead. The disagreement could complicate efforts to build narrowly focused safety agreements between the 2 countries.

Anthropic co-founder Dario Amodei is proposing a 3-step framework to pace frontier AI development rather than halt it. He argues that recursive self-improvement and a recent OpenAI-Hugging Face incident show why capability gains may be outpacing efforts to understand, align and control advanced systems.
Policy & Safety
A debate over how quickly artificial intelligence should advance has widened into a dispute between leading US technology executives, the Trump administration and China. The argument centres on chip controls, model security and whether slowing development would reduce risks or allow China to close the gap.
Policy & Safety
Hong Kong plans an AI City Brain to analyse departmental data, improve responses to severe weather and major events, and warn residents about traffic jams and long queues. Chief Executive John Lee Ka-chiu says the platform will not use personal data, addressing concerns raised about privacy and surveillance.
Policy & Safety
Artificial intelligence has returned to the centre of public debate amid warnings that it could move beyond human control or threaten human civilisation. The discussion also raises questions about an “AI slowdown” and China’s connection to it, but the available article material does not provide answers to those questions.
Research & Robotics
Juan Diego Raimondi, chief AI architect at Making Sense, said intelligence can improve itself when a system identifies the processes that produce effective results. His remarks came in response to a question about whether artificial intelligence could eventually become more powerful than humans, highlighting a central concern in discussions about advanced AI.
AI Business
Global spending on artificial intelligence is projected to reach $2.7 trillion in 2026, as demand for AI infrastructure, customised applications and cost-efficient models accelerates. Gartner has also raised its growth outlook for application development platforms and generative AI models, while identifying a potential $1.2 trillion AI services opportunity by 2030.
Policy & Safety
Bilal Chughtai, who worked on AGI safety and alignment at Google DeepMind, says he left the company because he is deeply worried about the direction and speed of AI development. He argues that advanced systems could eventually act beyond human control and that time to avoid a catastrophic outcome may be limited.
AI in India
An article by an AIIMS Delhi team on an artificial intelligence platform developed for cancer cure has been published in the BRICS Health Journal. Dr Ashok Sharma, who heads the institute’s Neurobiochemistry department, described the publication and its focus on cancer incidence.
Policy & Safety
Chinese President Xi Jinping has announced that China will lead the creation of an open-source artificial intelligence ecosystem for BRICS member nations as part of a 5-point initiative. The proposal was presented against the backdrop of the BRICS India 2026 summit, whose stated themes include resilience, innovation, cooperation and sustainability.
