AI Alliance Network expands to shape a shared AI future

The second meeting of the AI Alliance Network was held in Moscow on November 21, on the sidelines of the AI Journey 2025 conference. The event marked a significant milestone as the international alliance officially expanded.

AI Alliance Network brings together academic centres, trade associations and technology groups committed to advancing AI with transparency, collaboration and accountability.

In 2025, the alliance welcomed 11 new member associations and research institutes from across Latin America, Africa, the Middle East and Asia. Today, the alliance unites 28 organisations from 21 countries.


Participants reviewed the past year and welcomed new members. Over this period, members conducted joint work across various initiatives, including the major research project AI Horizons.

The idea originated at last year’s AI Journey conference. This year, the project involved 21 strategic sessions and 32 interviews with leading AI experts. This marks the first time Russian science has achieved such deep integration with the global scientific community.

Over 270 researchers from 36 countries contributed to this report, including Azerbaijan, Belarus, Brazil, Vietnam, Egypt, India, Indonesia, Italy, Spain, Kazakhstan, China, Cuba, Morocco, Nigeria, Portugal, Russia, Serbia, Uzbekistan, Chile, Ethiopia, South Africa, and others.

At AI Journey 2025, researchers from Russia, China, India, Serbia, and Vietnam presented the final AI Horizons report. The report is available in Russian, English and Chinese languages.

Alexander Vedyakhin, Chairman of the Russian alliance’s supervisory board: “AI Horizons reveals the future of the technology. AI development scenarios are typically created by individual institutions or countries. The dominant influence of Western academic communities has shaped the future agenda, leaving many nations behind. AI Horizons changes that. The project demonstrates that science has no borders, and the future of AI should be shaped collectively, with respect for the diversity of knowledge, cultures, and values.”

Professor Abraham Ajith, Vice Chancellor at Sai University, India, said: “We conducted an international foresight study to shape a shared AI future. Congratulations to Russia on launching this ambitious initiative that brings together the international community. The alliance has proven to be an effective platform for scientific cooperation.”

AI Alliance Network was founded in December 2024 at AI Journey in Moscow.
