Abstract
The article draws attention to the fact that the United States, historically the first and still recognized leader in artificial intelligence (AI) research and development, is now being challenged by rapidly developing BRICS countries. Based on a comparative analysis of US and BRICS academic publication activity using the open database developed by the Australian Strategic Policy Institute (ASPI), it is shown that the United States still possesses a serious advantage in the field of AI research and implementation, created by business and supported by strategic government policies. At the same time, the analysis of selected data from the ASPI database concerning critical areas of AI study confirmed the expert opinion that the position of the United States as a world leader is under increasing pressure. In terms of publication activity in the field of AI, China is either leading or ranked second after the US in almost all critical areas. In addition, the progress of some other BRICS countries is clearly visible. India demonstrates progress across all critical areas, although it still lags behind the two leaders. Iran holds notable positions in natural language processing, machine learning, AI algorithms, and hardware accelerators. Russia ranks comparatively low in the studied research metrics, though this can partly be attributed to the current geopolitical situation and the associated limitations on international publication activity. The conclusion is that cooperation among BRICS countries in complementary areas of AI research has great prospects and could determine the speed of development and implementation of technologies important for achieving technological sovereignty.
