Brazil: Commission publishes report on new amendments to AI bill
On November 28, 2024, the Temporary Commission for Artificial Intelligence in Brazil released its report analyzing proposed amendments to Bill No. 2338/2023 on the use of artificial intelligence received since the Commission's previous report published on July 4, 2024.
Which amendments were approved?
The approved amendments included the following changes:
- limiting the scope of the bill to exclude the use of artificial intelligence (AI) by individuals for non-commercial activities, as well as to exclude from the scope of the bill scientific, testing, and system-developing activities in order to stimulate innovation;
- excluding 'large-scale' from the criteria that define high-risk AI;
- reinforcing the protection of children and adolescents in the context of AI use by strengthening the language concerning vulnerable groups;
- improving the role of sectoral authorities in the notification of incidents and registration of high-risk AI systems; and
- introducing specific obligations related to general-purpose AI based on 'systemic risk,' defined as potential negative adverse effects arising from a general-purpose, generative AI system with a significant impact on individual and social fundamental rights.
