When delivering the Report to the President of the Senate, Minister Ricardo Cueva said that "it was possible, unanimously, to approve work in a commission that brings together experts of the highest quality, all of them dedicated to the study of specific areas".

Rapporteur Laura Schertel highlighted at least two essential aspects for the regulation proposal: “when we talk about regulating artificial intelligence, it is essential that we think about a risk approach, and at the same time establish a model that guarantees rights, so that can mitigate the risks commonly presented by these systems, such as the risks of discrimination, lack of transparency and inaccuracies in the results or database used.”

The commission's report was published in honor of professor Danilo Doneda (in memorian), member of the commission, who made important contributions to the final text and who passed away on 12/04/2022.

The PL is presented at a crucial moment in Brazil, when discussions about regulating artificial intelligence are present throughout the world, both due to its expanded use in our daily lives, and also due to the revolution caused by general purpose and intelligence systems generative artificial .
