In September 2021, Brazil's House of Representatives approved the Brazilian Artificial Intelligence Bill (Bill No. 21/2020), passing it on to the Federal Senate for further analysis.

Guidance

Brazil

The new draft Regulatory Framework relies on 3 pillars: namely ensuring the rights of the people affected by the system, risk level grading, and prediction of governance measures aimed at companies that provide or operate the AI system. When preparing the 900+ page report and Draft AI Law, the Senate committee drew inspiration from earlier proposals for regulating AI in Brazil and its research into how OECD countries are regulating (or planning to regulate) in this area, as well as inputs received during a public hearing and in the form of written comments from stakeholders. 

The Framework analyzed the current proposed AI framework (Bill 5051 of 2019, Bill 21 of 202 and Bill 827 of 2021). The Framework is intended to replace the current proposed framework and a new bill is expected to be proposed in 2023. 

Announced May 2023
