Brazil Approves AI Regulation Bill
Brazil Approves AI Regulation Bill

The Brazilian Senate has approved a new AI regulation bill. This decision sets Brazil on a path toward safer and more responsible use of AI technologies.

What the Law Covers?

The bill, known as PL 2,338/2023, was passed on December 10. It creates rules for using AI in Brazil while encouraging innovation. High-risk AI systems, like those used in healthcare or public safety, will face strict oversight.

Some practices will not be allowed. These include using AI for autonomous lethal weapons, creating harmful materials, or limiting public services based on behavior.

Companies must get permission to use copyrighted content for AI-generated material. They will also need to pay creators for their work.

Stricter Oversight

A new governance system will oversee AI use in Brazil. The system will involve government agencies like the Central Bank and Anvisa. Fines of up to R$50 million or 2% of revenue will apply for breaking the rules. The plan was introduced in 2023.

Startups and small businesses will have some flexibility under the law. Non-profit AI use is also excluded from many restrictions.

Concerns About Timing

Senator Eduardo Gomes highlighted the difficulty of AI regulation at the right time. Acting too early can limit growth while acting too late can lead to problems. The law aims to find a balance.

Artists and Creators Support the Move

Before the vote, Senate President Rodrigo Pacheco met with artists and creators. They supported the lawโ€™s focus on protecting copyrights.

I am Milos Nikolovski, a journalist with an insatiable curiosity for global affairs, cultural intersections, and the stories that define our time. My work spans continents, covering the pulse of international relations, the evolving dynamics between the United States and Brazil, the complexities of politics, and the deeper narratives found in travel, food, and everyday life. Every story I tell comes from direct experience, firsthand conversations, and an unfiltered approach to truth. I do not chase sensationalism or empty headlines. My focus remains on substanceโ€”on the issues that shape nations, the policies that drive decisions, and the cultural shifts that reveal where societies are headed. Whether dissecting diplomatic strategies, unraveling the economic forces linking Brazil and the United States, or walking through the markets of Sรฃo Paulo to uncover the hidden layers of a cityโ€™s identity, I believe in journalism that informs and challenges perspectives. Travel plays a crucial role in my work, not as an escape but as a means to engage with the world. The places I visit are not vacation spots; they are living, breathing spaces filled with voices, struggles, and triumphs. Whether exploring the political landscapes of Latin America, tracing historical legacies in Europe, or uncovering the latest food revolution in an unexpected corner of the world, my mission remains the sameโ€”to document, to report, and to bring forward stories that matter. Beyond borders and breaking news, my work is guided by core values: honesty, independence, and accessibility. Journalism must be fearless, unfiltered, and unbound by external pressures. I write for those who seek more than surface-level narratives, for those who value depth over distraction, and for those who refuse to settle for anything less than the full picture.
