The AI Cycle: From Technological Innovation to Regulation in Brazil

Today I bring you an analysis of the main news of the last 24 hours in the Artificial Intelligence scenario. It is impressive how AI is evolving and, at the same time, demanding adequate regulation to ensure its responsible use.

Let's start with what I consider most relevant: Brazil is about to take a significant step in AI regulation. The Senate is expected to vote today on the bill that establishes the legal framework for the use of artificial intelligence in the country. In my experience leading Dínamo and participating in the construction of the Legal Framework for Startups, I know how much well-structured regulation can boost innovation while protecting fundamental rights.

Impressive Technological Advances

On the innovation side, we have some fascinating news. Researchers have developed an AI capable of identifying signs of Alzheimer's in speech, accurate to 78.5% and up to six years in advance. It is a powerful example of how technology can transform healthcare.

Another notable advance comes from IBM revealed that generative AI projects can be delivered in 3 to 8 weeks, compared to 4 to 10 months for traditional AI. In my experience with startups and corporate innovation, this acceleration is revolutionary for the market.

Infrastructure and Security

In the field of infrastructure, MIT and Nokia have developed a photonic chip that uses light to perform neural network calculations, promising greater energy efficiency. At the same time, Android is rolling out new AI features with a focus on security, including theft detection blocking.

Ethics and Transparency

The issue of ethics in AI is gaining prominence. Google implemented in Gemini the ability to cite sources, an important step towards transparency. Furthermore, The Senate is promoting discussions on ethical challenges and privacy.

Innovative Experiences

An interesting case of creative application of AI comes from Niantic, which is using Pokémon GO data to train geospatial models. It is an example of how we can use data in innovative ways to create value.

Final Reflection

In my career supporting startups and innovation projects, I have learned that the balance between technological advancement and regulation is essential. The current moment is historic: we are seeing AI evolve rapidly on several fronts, while we build the foundations for its ethical and responsible use.

Brazil has a unique opportunity to position itself at the forefront of this technological revolution, but we need to ensure that our regulations are both robust and flexible enough not to stifle innovation. As I always say, the future of technology needs to be built with responsibility and inclusion.
