Without laws it is not possible to mitigate the risks that technology can bring
Brazil does not yet have a specific law to regulate the use of AI in different sectors of the economy. The so-called Regulatory Framework for Artificial Intelligence (PL 21/2020), pending in legislature since 2020, is still awaiting the definitive approval of this bill which aims to create the regulatory bases for the adoption and use of technology.
But before you rush to say that everything takes longer here, I can tell you that Brazil is not the last in line in this matter. On the contrary, we are now one of the few countries in the world where initiatives already exist to try to monitor, regulate and mitigate the risks associated with this type of innovation. We even have an initiative that intends to create some kind of regulatory agency for AI in the country – we will follow how it evolves. And all this while the European Union remains the example to follow in this sense with its own AI law created in 2021 to keep the rules clear there.
I list all these actions already implemented to reiterate that the focus of the discussions must be on how to achieve a balance between the prohibitions that the law imposes and the free incentive to innovate, especially in a conservative sector, but with an urgent need for transformation company, as in the case of Health.
There is an urgent need to have a regulation that can mitigate the risks of using AI, while helping to promote all that this technology has to offer to transform the healthcare sector and so many others. The key is in that balance.
Solutions that change Health
I repeated how important it is for us to think together about solutions that change the current healthcare business model in the country, which is clearly out of stock. Resource constraints are increasingly evident and are already impacting care, converting technology – and especially artificial intelligence and machine learning – into a key player capable of restoring financial health to this market.
But if we let it all happen freely, the risks of using AI will be many and potentially catastrophic, as I said in this item recent. And it’s not just me who predicts it, just look at other heavily regulated sectors such as the pharmaceutical industry and scientific research ― just to stay on the same level of knowledge ― and draw a parallel: in both, important advances in the development of drugs and treatments are always subject to validation by regulatory agencies, as the impact of a new drug used without expected scientific validation can even cost lives.
With AI, I think the path should be similar. To mitigate the risks without compromising the innovation itself for fear of too strict laws, it is necessary to seek the path of balance.
