“The legislation needs to be alive, with constant review. We cannot legislate as if we were writing a new constitution”He said. To Gomes, The IA debate was structured on existing regulatory agencies.

“We prefer not to invent a new regulatory model. The Central Bank will continue to regulate AI in the financial sector, as well as Anvisa in Health and other agencies in its areas. Artificial intelligence changes too fast. Today, you talk to one expert and, 2 months later, he already knows less than another,” he said.

For the senator, the world is experiencing a radical transformation in digital relations. “We became a city of 8 billion of inhabitants. Everything that happens has immediate impact on everyone. AI is no longer a theme restricted to technology and has been direct and almost instant social effects.”

The senator preached the growing role of the insurance industry in the digital age. “No one fully trusts in AI. And that is why insurance will be called to spin these relationships. Not only as a formal instrument, but as the basis of confidence in the entire digital ecosystem“, These.

Ezze Seguros CEO Richard Vinhosa spoke about the structural impacts of new technologies in both the sector and on everyday life.

According to him, automation and intelligent systems can reduce traditional risks to such an extent that the current model of insurance can be challenged. He cited the technologies that in the future should replace part of human action.

“If the responsibility is AI, not the driver, who will pay the claim? This affects the entire sector model. And what worries me most is the fusion between man and machine. Ethics needs to be in the center”He said.
