Senate Commission Presents Substitute For Artificial Intelligence Act

The proposal of the new text is still subject to changes based on the contributions from developers, jurists, and experts, who are expected to submit them by May 9th

The Temporary Commission on Artificial Intelligence of the Senate (CTIA) presented, on April 24th, the preliminary text of the substitute for the Artificial Intelligence Act in Brazil.

The document, prepared by Senator Eduardo Gomes, synthesizes ten other bills proposing guidelines for the use and development of AI in the country. Among them is Bill of Law no. 2.338/2023, authored by the President of the Senate, Rodrigo Pacheco, which aims to create the Legal Framework for AI.

The substitute adopts a risk-based approach and classifies AI systems into specific categories, such as "excessive risk" and "high risk.", assessed through a preliminary self-assessment, which determines specific obligations and responsibilities for each category.
