The bill that regulates artificial intelligence in Brazil was approved by a special committee in the Senate and is set to go to the floor next week. The text establishes a set of rules and principles for the development and application of AI in national territory, defining rights, limits and penalties for users with the aim of ensuring that technology is used ethically and transparently
After passing through the Senate, the next steps of the project will be the analysis by the Chamber of Deputies, the presidential sanction and the complementary regulation to detail specific aspects
If approved, the new legislation will bring impacts to the daily life of the population. See three practical ways how AI regulation will affect the lives of Brazilians, according to Marcelo Dannus, CEO of Paipe Technology and Innovation
1.Data security and protection
The regulation strengthens the protection of personal data, aligning with the General Data Protection Law (GDPL). Users will have more security regarding the use of their information by AI systems, avoiding abusive practices and invasions of privacy
2.Transparency in interactions with AI systems
Citizens will have the right to know when they are interacting with an artificial intelligence and understand how automated decisions affect them. This increases transparency and allows people to trust more in the services that use AI, like chatbots, virtual assistants and online platforms
3.Incentive for innovation and job opportunities
With clear rules, Brazil becomes a more favorable environment for technology investments. Companies and startups will have incentives to develop AI solutions, what 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 all of society. With the approval of the bill in the Senate, we are closer to having clear guidelines that protect citizens' rights and promote innovation. Staying alert to these changes is essential to understand how AI will continue to integrate and transform our daily lives
