While the World Talks Crisis, the Global South Is Quietly Rebuilding the Future

AI TV INFO | Global South Briefing — December 17, 2025

While much of the global media remains focused on crisis, inflation, and slowdown narratives, AI TV INFO highlights a different reality unfolding across the Global South — one of innovation, cooperation, investment, and rising global influence.

From artificial intelligence governance to record-breaking investment flows, the Global South is actively shaping its own future.

Here are the positive developments the world needs to see today.

BRICS Countries Lead a New Approach to Artificial Intelligence

Across the BRICS bloc, innovators and policymakers are collaborating on how to develop and govern artificial intelligence in ways that:

• Drive economic growth

• Reduce inequality

• Strengthen South-South cooperation

Rather than exporting raw data or importing closed systems, BRICS nations are exploring shared AI frameworks designed to support inclusive development and technological sovereignty.

🇮🇳 India Secures $135 Billion in Foreign Investment

India has attracted a record $135 billion in foreign direct investment commitments in 2025, signaling strong global confidence in its economy.

Investments span:

• Semiconductors and advanced technology

• Automotive manufacturing

• Financial services

• Energy and infrastructure

This positions India as a central pillar of Global South growth and a key player in global value chains.

🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia Accelerates High-Value Manufacturing

Under its Vision 2030 strategy, Saudi Arabia is rapidly expanding advanced manufacturing capacity.

Companies like Alat are integrating:

• Automation

• AI-driven production

• High-tech industrial processes

This shift is creating jobs, attracting global partners, and moving the economy decisively beyond oil dependence.

BRICS Expansion Strengthens Global South Influence

The expanded BRICS group now represents:

• Nearly half of the world’s population

• Over 40% of global GDP (PPP)

New members and partner countries from Africa and Asia are enhancing cooperation on:

• Trade and investment

• Development financing

• Multipolar global governance

For AI TV INFO, this reflects a rebalancing of global economic power, not confrontation — but cooperation and choice.

Health Progress Saves Millions of Lives

Development is not measured by GDP alone.

In 2025:

• Suriname and Timor-Leste were certified malaria-free by the WHO

• Expanded vaccine coverage and prevention tools reduced disease burdens across Africa and Asia

These achievements show how long-term investment in health delivers real, measurable results.

Digital and Financial Inclusion Accelerates

Across Africa, Asia-Pacific, and Latin America, fintech innovation is expanding access to:

• Digital payments

• Investment platforms

• Financial services for underserved communities

From Ghana to the Philippines, millions are gaining economic access previously out of reach — turning connectivity into opportunity.

 South-South Trade Builds Resilience

In 2025, South-South trade corridors are among the strongest contributors to global trade growth.

Regional integration and diversification are helping Global South economies become more resilient, more interconnected, and less exposed to external shocks.
