Brazil introduces bill establishing national policy on technological governance, algorithmic transparency, and digital equity in public administration

Bill No. 728/2026 establishing the National Policy on Technological Governance, Algorithmic Transparency and Digital Equity in Public Administration has been introduced to the Chamber of Deputies, applying to federal public administration and contracted service providers involved in automated systems. The Bill mandates a prior Technological and Fundamental Rights Impact Assessment (AIDF) before drafting terms of reference or contracting automated systems affecting fundamental rights, requiring a 30-day public consultation period, with exceptions for national security. It also stipulates that public technology contracts must include anti-lock-in safeguards, such as interoperability requirements, data portability, documented APIs, escrow of essential components, service continuity measures, transition cooperation obligations, and a preference for open-source solutions, with non-compliance potentially leading to disqualification of proposals or contract nullity. Additionally, the Bill amends Law No. 14,133/2021 on Public Procurement to incorporate the AIDF requirement and anti-lock-in safeguards into the public procurement framework.

Brazil to merge PL 2338/2023 and PL 6237/2025

Although Brazil will conclude 2025 without a definitive AI law, the government has established a clear governance roadmap by merging two complementary bills—PL 2338/2023 and PL 6237/2025—to create a unified national strategy. While PL 2338 defines the substantive rules, risk classifications, and copyright obligations, PL 6237 provides the institutional framework by establishing the National System for AI (SIA) and reinforcing the National Data Protection Authority (ANPD) as a central coordinator. This regulatory effort is supported by the Redata program, which offers tax incentives to bolster domestic data infrastructure and attract significant investment. Despite the legislative alignment between the executive and legislative branches, full implementation remains a long-term process, with enforcement timelines extending up to two years and requiring further executive decrees to finalize the new regulatory bodies.

AI governance bill (PL 6237/2025) introduced

The Law establishing the National System for the Development, Regulation, and Governance of Artificial Intelligence (PL 6237/2025) has been introduced to the Chamber of Deputies. The Law would establish a regulatory framework for AI called the National System for the Development, Regulation, and Governance of AI (SIA), composed of a newly established Brazilian Council for Artificial Intelligence (CBIA), the Brazilian Data Protection Authority (ANPD), two newly established committees composed of experts and civil society representatives, and other related public bodies. The CBIA would be responsible for establishing guidelines and principles for AI in relation to economic development, digital sovereignty, and social inclusion, advising the President of the Republic on AI policy development, and coordinating with other authorities on sectoral issues. The ANPD would become the residual regulator and supervising authority for AI, with the power to issue binding rules, including regarding incident reporting and algorithmic impact assessments, request clarification on data used to train high-risk AI in the public sector, and publish a list of high-risk AI use cases. Further, the Law would require the ANPD and sectoral agencies to define new categories for high-risk AI, based on criteria such as impact on fundamental rights, vulnerable groups, risk of systemic cybersecurity harm, and impact on the development of children and adolescents. The statement of reasons notes that Congress is already examining Bill 2338/2023, and the Executive must be prepared to implement whichever regulatory model is adopted. The Law therefore organises Brazil’s AI governance by assigning responsibilities to the CBIA, ANPD, expert and civil-society committees, and sectoral regulators to support coordinated oversight.

Digital Law and Artificial Intelligence are on the agenda for updating the Civil Code

The Senate's Temporary Commission for Updating the Civil Code held a public hearing to discuss the inclusion of digital law and AI in the modernization of Brazil's Civil Code. Representatives from the Ministry of Justice and Public Security, including the National Secretary for Digital Rights, Lílian Cintra de Melo, and the Director of the Department of Consumer Protection, Osny Filho, emphasized the need for regulatory coherence and consumer protection in the digital environment. The proposed updates aim to address issues such as the mass circulation of synthetic materials, the expansion of digital services, and the growing reliance on AI systems. Key points of the proposal include mandatory disclosure when content is produced by AI, protection of digital identities, recognition of responsibilities arising from human-AI interactions, and general parameters for responsible AI development, such as human oversight, transparency, and non-discrimination. The discussions underscored the importance of aligning the new Civil Code with existing legislation, including the Internet Civil Framework, the Consumer Protection Code, and the General Data Protection Law, to ensure legal certainty and safeguard citizens' rights in the digital realm.
