Introduced in July 2024, this Bill prohibits the use of children's images to train or improve AI systems without the explicit consent of their parents of legal guardians. It seeks to amend the Statute of the Child and Adolescent (Estatuto da Criança e do Adolescente) and the General Data Protection Law (Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados Pessoais) to include specific penalties for violations.
Name in original language
Projeto de Lei n° 2807, de 2024
Initiative overview
The Bill responds to the increasing use of children's images in AI systems without oversight, highlighting the vulnerability of minors to privacy violations. The proposal emphasizes the importance of informed consent and seeks to fill a legal gap in Brazil’s current data protection framework. It argues that existing laws do not adequately address the specific risks posed by AI technologies to children. The inclusion of criminal penalties and administrative sanctions aims to deter misuse and ensure accountability.
