Brazil takes a step forward in addressing the regulatory aspects of artificial intelligence (AI) with the establishment of a work plan to review and potentially amend the bill on AI regulation. The Senate's Internal Temporary Commission on Artificial Intelligence (CTIA) has publicly approved the work plan, which includes 15 sessions, including public hearings, to be conducted within the next 90 days. The aim is to provide a comprehensive assessment of Senate Bill No. 2338, which focuses on protecting fundamental rights, promoting work and human dignity, and fostering technological innovation through AI. Introduced by Senator Rodrigo Pacheco in December 2022, the bill is recognized as a complex proposal that requires careful analysis to ensure the well-being of the Brazilian population and facilitate economic and social growth. During the discussion, Senator Astronauta Marcos Pontes raised concerns about the "precautionary principle" included in the bill, as he believed it could potentially restrict technological advancements and put Brazil at a disadvantage in AI development. The issue of AI regulation continues to gain global attention, as top executives from leading tech and web companies recently met with U.S. lawmakers in Washington D.C. to explore possible approaches to regulation at the Senate's "AI Insight Forum" organized by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer on September 13. Attendees included industry giants such as Elon Musk (owner of X), Sundar Pichai from Google, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Sam Altman from OpenAI, and Microsoft founder Bill Gates.
