Bill in Brazil begins to discuss regulation with a similar approach
Since August, the European Union has brought into force the first comprehensive legislation on artificial intelligence (AI), known as the AI Act. The new regulation will be fully applicable from 2026.
The legislation establishes strict standards for the development and use of AI systems in European territory, with the aim of guaranteeing safety, ethics and respect for fundamental rights.
The AI Act will adopt a risk-based approach, classifying AI systems into different categories, from those with minimal risk to those with unacceptable risk. This methodology will set a new global standard. In Brazil, the topic has been debated and, recently, Bill 2.338/2023 (PL IA) began discussing regulation with a similar approach, demonstrating how Brazil can follow in the footsteps of the European Union.
“The implementation of the AI Act in Europe is a milestone that shows the need for Brazil to advance its own AI regulation. If we do not follow this trend, we may face challenges not only in adapting to international rules, but also in ensuring that our companies are aligned with global governance and security practices,” says Alan Nicolas, AI expert for business and founder of Academia Lendár[IA].
