Brazilian Senate approves AI framework bill

The Brazilian Senate has approved a bill establishing a regulatory framework for AI. This bill, which will now proceed to the Chamber of Deputies, aims to govern both the development and use of AI. The approved text builds upon an earlier bill (PL 2.338/2023) and incorporates feedback from various stakeholders, including Abinee. The framework includes rules on copyright and inspection, categorizes AI systems by risk level (excessive and high), and includes provisions from other related proposals.
