Ramaphosa backs independent AI oversight under BRICS, echoing Amodei

South African President Ramaphosa endorsed Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei's proposal for external audits and government oversight of AI firms, framing it as a BRICS-level initiative. The move signals a shift toward multilateral AI governance outside Western-led frameworks, though concrete mechanisms and BRICS consensus remain undefined. It matters as it could shape global AI regulation and create friction with US/EU approaches.
