The president of the Senate, Rodrigo Pacheco, presented a bill that establishes general guidelines for the development, implementation and use of artificial intelligence systems (AI) in Brazil.
The objective is map and understand economic and social impacts that the development of this technology can cause in the country.

To Pacheco’s text three other projects that were already being discussed in both Chambers were “attached”, which also incorporated ideas and proposals from a commission of jurists that studied the issue and presented a final report after more than 70 public hearings.
The governments of several countries have been seeking to regulate artificial intelligence tools.
The White House met with representatives from Google, Microsoft and other companies to discuss the risks of this technology. The European Union and the United Kingdom are also looking to implement a new regulation.

The justification for the bill cites points such as the protection of fundamental rights, the democratic regime and the freedom of decision and choice of people. He also mentions the need to respect labor rights.
The bill (…) seeks to clearly define rights for the protection of the most vulnerable link, the natural person
The text of the project speaks of two main approaches:

“On the other hand, a institutional inspection and supervision arrangement it creates conditions of predictability in terms of its interpretation and, ultimately, legal certainty for innovation and technological development”, he adds.
sensitive information
The bill will be voted against in the context of fears about the ethical limits and the possible impacts of Artificial Intelligence In the labor market.
Concerns grew with the advent of so-called generative artificial intelligence, which produces content, such as ChatGPT, launched last November.

It is urgent to regulate artificial intelligence, which is already widely used and presents numerous risks to fundamental rights
Regarding the supervision of the use of artificial intelligence, the project determines that the Executive create a body in charge of ensure, implement and supervise compliance with legal dictates on AI throughout the national territory.
On the other hand, the text recognizes the need to foster innovation in artificial intelligence in Brazil, including the creation of an experimental regulatory environment (regulatory sandbox) – which today enables the creation of fintechs, for example.
The bill prohibits the implementation and use of artificial intelligence systems that may give rise to “direct, indirect, illegal or even abusive discrimination”.
It is mentioned the use of sensitive data about personal characteristics such as geographic origin, race, color or ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, socioeconomic class, age, disability, religion, or political opinions.

Establishes rights to protect people affected by artificial intelligence systems on a day-to-day basis

“The bill (…) seeks to clearly define rights for the protection of the most vulnerable link, the natural person, continuously affected. by artificial intelligence systems”, he adds.
Some countries, such as France and Spain, opened an investigation against ChatGPT on suspicion of violating European data protection law. Italy went a step further and blocked the use of the tool until the company falls under the European Union’s General Data Protection Law (GDPR).
With attention to ethical precepts, the project prohibits, for example, the use of any artificial intelligence system that could induce people to behave in a way that is considered harmful or that exploits the vulnerabilities of specific groups.
