The bill regulating artificial intelligence in Brazil was approved by a special committee in the Senate and is scheduled to go to the plenary next week. The text establishes a set of rules and principles for the development and application of AI within the national territory, defining rights, limits, and punishments for users in order to ensure that the technology is used ethically and transparently.
After passing through the Senate, the next steps for the project will be analysis by the Chamber of Deputies, presidential sanction and complementary regulations to detail specific aspects.
If approved, the new legislation will have impacts on the daily life of the population. See three practical ways in which AI regulation will affect the lives of Brazilians, according to Marcelo Dannus, CEO of Paipe Tecnologia e Inovação:
1. Security and data protection
The regulation reinforces the protection of personal data, aligning with the General Data Protection Law (LGPD). Users will have greater security regarding the use of their information by AI systems, preventing abusive practices and privacy invasions.
2. Transparency in interactions with AI systems
Citizens will have the right to know when they are interacting with artificial intelligence and understand how automated decisions affect them. This increases transparency and allows people to trust more in the services they use AI for, such as chatbots, virtual assistants, and online platforms.
3. Encouraging innovation and employment opportunities
With clear rules, Brazil becomes a more conducive environment for technology investments. Companies and startups will have incentives to develop AI solutions, which can generate new investment opportunities and boost economic development.
The regulation of artificial intelligence in Brazil is an important step to ensure that technological advancement occurs ethically and benefits society as a whole. With the approval of the bill in the Senate, we are closer to having clear guidelines that protect citizens' rights and promote innovation. Paying attention to these changes is essential to understand how AI will continue to integrate and transform our daily lives.
