Brazil: Government publishes AI strategy
The Government of Brazil published, on 12 April 2021, its Ordinance No. 4,617 of 6 April 2021 on Artificial Intelligence Strategy with the purpose of guiding government actions in favour of strengthening research, development, and innovation in artificial intelligence ('AI') solutions, as well as their conscious and ethical use by public or private entities. In particular, the strategy aims to guarantee innovation in the work and social environment, capable of facing the challenges associated with the country's development. Lastly, among other things, the strategy mentions specific topics about privacy relating to:
- principles that must be incorporated from the moment the system is designed, as well as the concepts of Privacy by Design, Security by Design, Human Rights by Design, and Ethics by Design;
- promoting international cooperation in norms, technological, regulatory, and legal standards, in order to facilitate economic integration and the exchange of expertise in the field of AI, always valuing the privacy of users and the protection of personal data; and
- themes related to the incorporation of ethical principles related to transparency, equity, and non-discrimination.
