On March 30, 2022, a committee of 18 legal experts assembled by the Brazilian Senate on February 17 was instated, which was given a deadline of 120 days to draft a replacement for bills that discuss Artificial Intelligence. Currently, Bills 5051/19 and 872/21 have been attached to Bill 21/20.
Bill 21/20’s text is inspired by the recommendation on Artificial Intelligence by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and is part of the planning for the Legal Framework for Artificial Intelligence in Brazil, in view of the government’s future actions regarding this topic. The Bill proposes guidelines and principles to govern strategic management, as well as guidelines to be adopted for the development and application of artificial intelligence in Brazil.
The topic is on the agenda in Brazil and should soon be approved. In general, organizations will need to take certain necessary measures to be in compliance with PL 21/20, given that its provisions will come into force 90 days after its publication.
In order to provide an overview on the law, Demarest prepared a guide about PL 21/20, available here. Demarest has also published a Guide to Good Practices in Artificial Intelligence, available here.
