Brazil's 'Governance-First' AI Gambit: A New Model and its Challenge

While the world’s superpowers race for dominance in compute power and large-scale models, Brazil is playing a different game. As a key member of the BRICS, Latin America’s largest economy is pioneering a high-stakes national experiment: a “Governance-First” model for artificial intelligence. Instead of building its strategy on a foundation of silicon, Brazil is building it on law, ethics, and social equity. This is a radical bet that seeks to create a new “Southern” template for AI, one that prioritizes human rights over the raw pursuit of innovation. This article analyzes the three core tensions at the heart of Brazil’s gambit: a profound clash between its legal ambitions and its infrastructural reality; a deep gap between its social equity goals and its on-the-ground market failures; and the resulting strategic imperative to find new multilateral alliances to ensure its model survives.
