An AI Safety and Opportunities Institute for Brazil: A sketch of characteristics, functions and potential challenges

The report proposes the establishment of a Brazilian Institute for Artificial Intelligence Safety and Opportunities (AISO). The publication analyzes the so-called "first wave" of international institutions dedicated to AI safety — such as those created in the United Kingdom, the United States, the European Union, Japan, among others — and puts forward an institutional model tailored to Brazil's specific context.

The AISO proposal is grounded in the premise that AI governance must strike a balance between risks and opportunities. Accordingly, the institute would have a technical and advisory nature, with independent and multisectoral governance. It would promote best practices, shared methodologies, and international cooperation. The goal is to contribute to a safe and trustworthy AI ecosystem aligned with the public interest, without overlapping with existing regulatory agencies.

Produced by CEBRI and the Institute for Technology and Society of Rio (ITS-Rio), the report aims to foster national debate on institutional pathways for AI governance in Brazil, in alignment with ongoing global efforts.
