Artificial Intelligence X-ray: Impacts, Investments and Regulation in Brazil

An intense day for AI in Brazil and around the world! In the last 24 hours, we have had a series of relevant news items that show how artificial intelligence is transforming different sectors of the economy and society. Let's analyze the main highlights and understand what is at stake.

Business Impact: AI Drives Profits

THE KPMG revealed impressive data: 87% of companies have increased their profits in the last two years thanks to AI. As someone who has worked with hundreds of startups and large companies, I can say that this number does not surprise me. AI has gone from being a differentiator to becoming essential for business competitiveness.

The Regulation Debate

An important milestone was reached with the approval of Bill 2,338/2023, which regulates AI in Brazil. In my experience as head of Dínamo, where we worked on public policies for innovation, I learned that the balance between regulation and innovation is essential. The new framework seeks precisely this: to protect rights without stifling technological development.

Investment Bubble Alert

Massive US$120 billion investment in AI infrastructure have raised the alarm about a possible bubble. As an investor and venture capital fund manager, I know that moments of euphoria require caution. It is crucial to separate solid projects from empty promises.

Transformation in Traditional Sectors

We see interesting cases of digital transformation, such as Encyclopaedia Britannica reinvents itself as an AI-powered educational platform. In the electricity sector, Smart meters and AI are revolutionizing energy management.

Challenges and Opportunities

THE Microsoft's aggressive strategy with Copilot shows how even tech giants face challenges in adopting AI. But the fact that 70% of the Fortune 500 companies already use the tool indicates a path of no return.

Conclusion and Perspectives

In my career supporting startups and leading innovation initiatives, I have never seen a technology with as much transformative potential as AI. We are living in a unique moment, where the ability to adapt and innovate determines not only the success, but the very survival of organizations.

For companies looking to embark on this journey, I recommend starting with a clear diagnosis of where AI can generate the most value, setting realistic goals, and investing in training. My experience shows that success in implementing AI depends not only on technology, but also on strategy and people.
