The recent approval of legislation on Artificial Intelligence (AI) by the European Parliament marks a decisive moment in the search for a balance between technological innovation and social protection. European legislation is inspired by guided self-regulatory principles, similar to those of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the General Data Protection Law (LGPD), and is meticulously structured to prioritize risk analysis and compliance obligations.
The scope and potential of Europe’s approved restrictions, however, raise questions about its ability to adapt to rapid technological developments such as artificial general intelligence (AGI) and future innovations in quantum computing.
In other words: this regulation stands out for its meticulous attention to compliance and safety, preparing a safer ground for the development and application of AI. But it runs the risk of quickly becoming obsolete in the face of constant technological innovation, which suggests the need for regular updates to maintain its relevance. Furthermore, its potentially restrictive nature could discourage innovation and encourage talent migration, impacting Europe’s competitiveness in the global AI market.
Unfortunately, the legislation fails to thoroughly address essential issues, such as AI-related intellectual property, such as ownership of inventions or works created by autonomous systems. This omission highlights the need for further legislation that addresses the complex dilemmas of copyright and the creation of medicines using artificial intelligence.
While the legislation has undergone significant revisions to cover generative and other advanced AI, it still faces the challenge of staying current in the face of ongoing technological advancement. This highlights the importance of incorporating flexible updating mechanisms that allow for dynamic adjustments over time without compromising legal certainty.
The European approach to AI regulation offers valuable insights for Brazil, which often draws inspiration from international regulatory models.
In adapting these lessons to the Brazilian context, it is essential to promote a balance between the protection of citizens, the promotion of innovation and international competitiveness. This involves “tropicalizing” European regulatory principles, adapting them to Brazilian particularities and social needs, to develop an artificial intelligence ecosystem that reflects both global advances and local specificities.
