What the document contains

What's covered

The document addresses the national strategy for artificial intelligence in Brazil, detailing diagnoses of the current landscape, objectives, and strategic actions across legislation and ethics, governance, international aspects, digital qualifications, workforce training, R&D, productive sectors, public administration, and public safety.

What's missing

The document is a high-level strategic policy framework rather than binding legislation, and it does not contain direct criminal or civil enforcement mechanisms or specific technical software code implementations.

Key takeaways
  • The strategy establishes nine thematic pillars to guide Brazil's policies on artificial intelligence development and use.
  • It aligns with international principles such as those of the OECD to promote human-centric, trustworthy, and ethical AI.
  • It identifies significant national challenges, including shortages of skilled labor, low levels of investment in R&D compared to global leaders, and infrastructure gaps.
  • It emphasizes the importance of data protection, privacy, and algorithmic fairness, aligning with Brazil's General Data Protection Law (LGPD).
  • It proposes strategic actions across education, workforce training, public administration, productive sectors, and public safety to ensure AI benefits the entire society.
