Brazil is launching the Brazilian Artificial Intelligence Plan (PBIA) with a $4 billion investment aimed at enhancing local AI technologies. This initiative seeks to position Brazil as a global leader in AI while addressing social disparities and environmental issues. The plan emphasizes collaboration among public authorities, civil society, and the private sector to ensure that AI benefits all Brazilians.
Key components of the PBIA include upgrading the Santos Dumont supercomputer and establishing a national network of AI centers. These centers will serve as hubs for innovation and education, fostering a skilled workforce and promoting public understanding of AI. The initiative also aims to reduce Brazil's reliance on imported technologies, enhancing national sovereignty in the face of global geopolitical tensions.
