The Regulatory Framework for Artificial Intelligence (AI), recently approved by the Federal Senate and now under consideration by the Chamber of Deputies, represents a significant advance for technological governance in Brazil. The proposal seeks to balance innovation and responsibility, establishing clear rules for the development and use of AI systems, with a focus on security, transparency and protection of fundamental rights.
Pros The regulation proposes specific criteria for high-risk systems, requiring audits, transparency in algorithms and ethical and secure data management. In addition, it promotes the creation of a more stable regulatory environment, attracting investments and encouraging technological innovation. This type of framework puts Brazil in line with countries such as the European Union, which is already moving forward with its AI Act, strengthening the trust of users and companies in AI-based systems. For consumers, the law provides increased protection against improper or malicious uses of AI, such as discriminatory decisions or invasions of privacy.
Contrary points and risks of flexibility On the other hand, some experts point out that the proposal may lack specificity in key areas, leaving room for interpretations that weaken regulation. The lack of detailed mechanisms for monitoring and applying penalties may compromise the effectiveness of the law. Risks such as unauthorized use of personal data, automation of biased decisions and impacts on the labor market are issues that require special attention.
The role of companies and the focus on the user The framework assigns to companies the responsibility of ensuring that their AI systems are transparent, safe and aligned with technical and ethical requirements. This includes implementing independent audits, ensuring the explainability of algorithms and ensuring that data collection and use comply with privacy and consumer protection standards.
Regulation and monitoring: what to expect The framework provides for the creation of a regulatory body responsible for monitoring and enforcing the standards, in addition to promoting good practices. Monitoring should be based on a risk model, prioritizing AI systems that can generate greater social or economic impact. However, for this to be effective, it will be necessary to invest in technical training and infrastructure to keep up with the rapid advancement of technology.
Outlook The AI Regulatory Framework has the potential to transform the Brazilian technology ecosystem, promoting more ethical and sustainable governance. However, its effectiveness will depend on how it is implemented, regulated and monitored. For companies and the market, the challenge will be to balance innovation and compliance, while for users, the goal is to ensure that technologies bring real benefits, protecting rights and promoting trust.
