## Summary
Risk-based AI framework passed by the Federal Senate in December 2024: bans excessive-risk systems, imposes impact assessments and governance duties on high-risk uses, adds copyright remuneration for training data and creates a National AI Regulation and Governance System coordinated by the data protection authority (ANPD). It would apply to developers, distributors and deployers of AI in Brazil.

## Why it matters
The largest pending AI law in Latin America; obligations would bite only after Chamber approval, possible Senate re-vote, sanction and a transition period.
