Regulating Artificial Intelligence: The Brazilian Approach Victoria: Katelyn: Mariana:

So in the case of social media regulation, definitely, there's some conversation now about the rules created by the DSA and Brazil is bringing in some of that experience, but the original discussion that I was telling you about from the beginning of the pandemic didn't really like mirror much of the discussions in Europe at the time. [...] And that speaks a lot to technologies and potentially AI systems used in the public sector, right? So, for example, what's the specific responsibility that should be borne in that context? In the case of the Bolsa Familia Program that I was speaking of, we did not see AI being employed, but that could be the case in the very near future, of course. [...] So you mentioned earlier that you were within the commission responsible for looking at public sector deployment, specifically, and in your own research and practice in the past and currently in the sphere of emerging technologies, you've especially focused on the deployments of digitalized systems that have emerged in the public sector and impacted some of the most vulnerable people in Brazil. [...] So I guess the really natural follow up question to this is how does the draft bill seek to address some of these concerns and to kind of mitigate some of these potential harms? Could you explain a bit what kind of approach was adopted in the final version that was eventually submitted to the Senate? And what would you say were the key considerations and provisions that were included in the bill?. [...] And the question is that there's a robot android approaching its owner in a warehouse, and the robot asks the owner the following question, "I want to be free." And the owner just turns the robot around and presses the reset button.
