Recent Developments in Brazil’s AI Legal Framework
In recent months, the conversation about establishing a federal legal framework for Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Brazil has intensified. The focal point of this legislative activity is Bill No. 2,338/2023, known as the “AI Bill”, which is undergoing a thorough examination by the Brazilian Congress.
In December 2022, a Commission of Jurists took on the task of crafting a proposed legal structure for AI, reviewing existing legislative proposals within the Federal Senate. Their work led to the introduction of the AI Bill in January 2023. Since its presentation, the Bill has ignited a series of robust debates concerning the nature of regulatory frameworks, the rights of users, and the obligations of AI entities. These debates prompted the creation of a dedicated committee within the Senate, known as the CTIA, tasked with the Bill’s detailed examination. The CTIA’s efforts included conducting more than 30 public hearings, and in June 2024, the rapporteur put forth a recommendation for the Bill’s passage.
