The project is based on the premise that, over the next decade, the projected growth of the Internet is likely to occur predominantly in Asia, Latin America and Africa, and particularly in the BRICS countries. The next billion internet users, along with the innovation and data they will produce and the policies they will need, are likely to come from the BRICS. In light of this consideration, the BRICS countries are increasing their cooperation in the areas of science and technology and promoting synergies with regard to digital policies.

The Data and AI Regulations research group organizes regular meetings to discuss topics related to the regulation and governance of personal data and artificial intelligence (AI), with a focus on the Brazilian and international scenarios. With regard to the national scenario, the group focuses mainly on the practices and policies of digital platforms and generative AI services, among others, to comply with the General Data Protection Law (LGPD), mapping good practices and deficiencies in the implementation of the regulation's contours and indicating ways to more effectively comply with the law. With regard to the international scenario, the group aims to analyze, in particular, the regulation of international data transfers and the comparison of data and AI governance and regulation models in Latin American countries and the BRICS bloc. The group's meetings are held weekly and are based on the discussion of a documentary and bibliographic corpus defined in advance. The group's aim is to produce inputs for better implementation of personal data protection regulations and to encourage the definition of effective AI regulatory frameworks. In this sense, the results of the research developed within the group aim to positively impact the activities of both private actors and regulatory authorities such as the National Data Protection Authority (ANPD) and other control bodies.

This project aims to build a series of criteria, metrics and risk indicators for compliance with the LGPD for e-commerce companies, based on a broad survey of case law. The material will also be used to support the proposal for a private insurance system to reinforce care and foster the growth of a data protection culture in the country. The results will provide an opportunity to publish an academic article and a dissemination article, both under the guidance of the project coordinator, and will be discussed at at least two events with experts, authorities and public policy makers: the annual CPDP LatAm conference (cpdp.lat) and the E-commerce Studies Center

The “Media and Democracy” project is an initiative of the Getulio Vargas Foundation's School of Communication, Media and Information (FGV ECMI), in collaboration with the Delegation of the European Union to Brazil, with the aim of strengthening Brazilian democracy, guaranteeing the integrity of digital spaces and promoting the quality of information.

In 2022, the Ministry of Health and the National Supplementary Health Agency (ANS) launched an initiative to standardize data sharing between supplementary health service providers in Brazil. It's called Open Health. 

Inspired by data sharing experiences proposed by bodies in other regulated markets, such as Open Finance, developed by the Central Bank of Brazil (BACEN), the proponents of Open Health aim to stimulate competition between supplementary health service providers and improve the quality of services in this sector. It is assumed that reducing information asymmetry between agents in this market will try to make services more efficient and stimulate the development of solutions that benefit the population.

 The project seeks to establish an overview of transparency in relation to content moderation on social media platforms in Brazil. More specifically, it aims to (1) map the existing transparency obligations applicable in the context of social media platforms operating in Brazil and (2) assess whether the application of these obligations has resulted in significant transparency in content moderation practices.

To do this, we reviewed the transparency commitments of the ten most downloaded social media apps in Brazil, assessing the extent to which they are aligned with international standards. We then identified the main criticisms and suggestions made in Brazil to improve the existing framework, with a special focus on the issues raised in the context of elections and disinformation. We presented our preliminary findings at Rights Con 2023 with the aim of raising awareness and collecting feedback, and consolidated them into a final draft by September 30.
