Brazil keeps new AI bills moving

The Brazilian Senate lists PL 2114/2026 as pending and keeps PL 5092/2026 on the Senate floor with the latest status of "AGUARDANDO DESPACHO," according to the official Federal Senate record. Although both appear in the legislative pipeline, PL 5092/2026 does not address artificial intelligence or data protection, but instead concerns the right to repair goods purchased by consumers.

What is the Senate doing with PL 2114/2026 and PL 5092/2026?

The Senate is keeping both bills in its legislative process, but with different scopes. PL 2114/2026 is listed as "em tramitação," while PL 5092/2026 remains on the floor with the status "AGUARDANDO DESPACHO," according to the official record of the Federal Senate of Brazil.

In the case of PL 5092/2026, the legislative file itself separates it from the AI and personal data agenda. The bill focuses on the right to repair goods bought by consumers, so it should not be read as a regulatory measure on artificial intelligence.

What other AI initiatives remain open in Brazil?

PL 1074/2026, which addresses incentives for Brazilian AI, is still moving under a conclusive track and must pass through more committees before reaching the final stretch of debate. After being approved by the Committee on Science, Technology and Innovation, it still needs review by Finance and Taxation, and by Constitution, Justice and Citizenship.

That path shows a parallel legislative pipeline, where industrial policy for AI and data protection compliance obligations coexist. The legislative sequence is not closed and still depends on additional review stages within the Chamber.

What did the ANPD do about the regulatory sandbox?

The National Data Protection Authority published a testing methodology for its regulatory sandbox on artificial intelligence and data protection. The material was developed by USP's Center for Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning and validated by the Sandbox Commission.

The methodology focuses on assessing transparency, explainability, and personal data protection in AI systems, according to the ANPD. Alongside the parliamentary debate, the regulator has published a technical framework for testing solutions centered on those three areas.

What does the current legislative picture show?

The picture shows bills advancing on separate tracks, with only partial overlap in subject matter. The Senate is still processing recent initiatives, but the content of each one determines whether it enters the debate on AI and personal data.

Taken together, the initiatives show that Brazil still has an open legislative agenda on AI and data protection, but not every proposal moving through the Senate belongs to that field. The framing of each bill depends on its text and its parliamentary status.
