Legislative Developments in Telecommunications Sector

ANATEL expresses support for Bill establishing the National System for the Development, Regulation, and Governance of Artificial Intelligence

Through Report No. 183/2025, published in early January 2026, the Superintendence of Planning and Regulation of ANATEL expressed its support for the approval of Bill No. 6,237/2025, proposed by the Executive Branch, which establishes the National System for the Development, Regulation, and Governance of Artificial Intelligence. Bill No. 6,237/2025 is currently under review by the Brazilian Chamber of Deputies.

According to ANATEL, the creation of a collaborative and multisectoral national system is essential to ensure coherent regulation of artificial intelligence across the various economic sectors in which it is applied.

Furthermore, although ANATEL underscored the importance of the Brazilian Data Protection Agency (“ANPD”) as the overarching coordinating entity for artificial intelligence, responsible for issuing general regulations and promoting cooperation and regulatory coherence among sectoral authorities, ANATEL considers it necessary for Bill No. 6,237/2025 to preserve and strengthen the regulatory powers of sector-specific agencies within their respective areas.
