Senate President Rodrigo Pacheco filed Bill PL 2338/2023 on 3 May 2023, drawing on a commission of jurists set up in the Senate after three earlier AI bills (PL 5.051/2019, PL 21/2020 and PL 872/2021) had been processed together since February 2022. The bill classes AI systems as excessive or high risk and has the executive designate an authority to oversee enforcement, issue regulations and update the Brazilian AI Strategy. The Senate approved it in December 2024 and sent it to the Chamber of Deputies on 17 March 2025.

Why it matters

AI providers in Brazil faced a proposed risk-tiered law with a designated supervisory authority.
