Brazil’s Federal Senate approved PL 2338/2023, the AI regulatory framework reported by Senator Eduardo Gomes, on 10 December 2024 and sent it to the Chamber of Deputies. The text bans excessive-risk uses such as systems that exploit vulnerable groups, produce child sexual abuse material or act as autonomous weapons, places duties on high-risk uses such as medical diagnosis and police profiling, and requires authorisation and payment for copyrighted content used in training. Fines reach R$50m or 2% of gross revenue.

Why it matters

AI developers and deployers in Brazil moved closer to binding risk rules, impact duties and copyright payments, pending a Chamber vote that would decide the final text.
