The Special Committee on Artificial Intelligence of the Brazilian Chamber of Deputies is holding a public hearing today (9) to discuss how AI technologies impact copyright protection.

The session is part of the review of Bill 2338/23, which proposes a risk-based classification of AI systems, distinguishing between traditional AI and generative AI.

Regarding intellectual property, the bill allows the use of protected content only for non-commercial purposes by research institutions, journalism, museums, archives, libraries, and educational organizations. In commercial contexts, copyright holders may prohibit the use of their works or demand compensation for their use.

This debate highlights Brazil’s efforts to strike a balance between technological innovation and copyright protection.
