Today I bring you a summary of the main news about AI in Brazil from the last 24 hours, which reveal an intense scenario of transformations, opportunities and challenges.

Medicine is undergoing a quiet revolution with the arrival of generative AI. According to CNN Brazil report, technology is being incorporated into several areas: analysis of exams, identification of patterns in slides, automation of medical records and much more. As someone who has been following the impact of technology in different sectors for more than two decades, I can say that we are only at the beginning of this transformation.

But there is a fundamental element to make this entire revolution possible: infrastructure. Forbes Brazil highlights how Latin America, especially Brazil, has the potential to lead the creation of green data centers for AI, taking advantage of our renewable energy matrix. This is a competitive advantage that we need to explore strategically.

Meanwhile, important voices warn of the risks. Nobel Prize winner John Hopfield expressed concern with the uncontrolled use of AI. In Brazil, we have two regulatory fronts underway: one specific bill and a possible regulation via STF.

The financial sector is also undergoing transformation, with AI democratizing access to financial services, as pointed out article from Perfil Brasil. In the health area, Brazilian researchers lead innovations in AI-powered exoskeletons for rehabilitation.

However, it is important to keep your feet on the ground. A Techno-Science analysis questions whether we are facing a technological bubble, since only a fraction of companies use AI effectively.

My view on this scenario

In my experience supporting thousands of startups and leading innovation initiatives, I have learned that moments of technological transformation like this require a delicate balance between enthusiasm and caution. AI regulation in Brazil needs to be carefully crafted so as not to stifle innovation, especially from startups – something we actively advocated at Dínamo during the construction of the Legal Framework for Startups.
