Brazil advances AI data rules

The Science, Technology and Innovation Committee of Brazil’s Chamber of Deputies approved a substitute proposed by rapporteur Duda Ramos for PL 6706/2025. The bill amends the Civil Rights Framework for the Internet so that its data protection and processing rules also apply to data used by artificial intelligence systems. It still has to be reviewed by the Committee on Constitution and Justice and Citizenship, and it is moving under a conclusive procedure.

What does PL 6706/2025 change?

The bill seeks to extend the data protection and processing rules in the Civil Rights Framework for the Internet to data used by artificial intelligence systems. According to the Podemos source, the version approved in committee includes that regulatory adjustment in the original text of PL 6706/2025.

The vote took place in the Science, Technology and Innovation Committee of the Chamber of Deputies, which backed the substitute presented by rapporteur Duda Ramos. The process remains open because the text still needs to go through the Committee on Constitution and Justice and Citizenship.

How will the legislative process continue?

PL 6706/2025 has not received final approval and remains at an earlier stage in the Chamber of Deputies. Based on the available information, the pending review in the Committee on Constitution and Justice and Citizenship is the next step before the bill can move forward under its conclusive procedure.

At the same time, the Senate is still debating PL 4752/2025, which proposes creating a Legal Framework for Cybersecurity and a National Digital Security and Resilience Program. The specialist source Tripla recorded that, as of September 3, 2026, the bill was with the rapporteur in the Senate’s Science, Technology and Innovation Committee.

What is the status of the cybersecurity bill?

PL 4752/2025 is still moving through the Senate and remains in committee review. Tripla says that, as of September 3, 2026, the file was under rapporteur review in the upper house’s Science, Technology and Innovation Committee.

Unlike PL 6706/2025, which has already been approved in one committee in the Chamber of Deputies and is awaiting CCJ review, the cybersecurity bill has not yet moved beyond the rapporteur stage in the Senate. Both texts aim to expand Brazil’s regulatory framework, one on data used by AI and the other on security and digital resilience.
