The OECD.AI Policy Navigator

The EBIA assumes the role of guiding the actions of the Brazilian State in favor of the development of actions, in its various aspects, that stimulate research, innovation, and development of solutions in Artificial Intelligence, as well as its conscious, ethical, and in favor of a better future use.

Brazil's digital transformation strategy (E-Digital), published on March 2018, harmonises and co-ordinates different governmental initiatives on digital issues to advance the Sustainable Development Goals in Brazil.

PBIA seeks to: • improve the lives of Brazilians through innovations in AI that improve national productive capacity and social well-being; • position Brazil at the technological frontier with computational infrastructure to drive cutting-edge research, technological development, and innovations in AI; • develop LLMs in Portuguese, based on national data; and • strengthen Brazil’s global leadership and technological development in AI with sovereignty and international sharing of capabilities.

The program consists of a controlled environment to test technologies associated with artificial intelligence (AI) developed by participants. The objective is that by fostering innovation in this controlled space, good practices are implemented to ensure compliance with personal data protection rules and principles.

OBIA serves as a public, open-access repository designed to compile and provide information on AI developments in Brazil and to connect with other international observatories.
