The new era of digital regulation in Brazil
The ANPD's regulatory advancements in data, child protection, and artificial intelligence are redefining corporate priorities and reinforcing that competitiveness also depends on compliance and digital governance.
International Data Protection Day marks a new phase of maturity for the LGPD (Brazilian General Data Protection Law) in Brazil, with a more structured and predictable role for the ANPD (National Data Protection Authority). The regulatory agenda for 2026–2027 highlights high-impact issues for companies, such as the protection of children and adolescents, artificial intelligence, and automated decisions. The advancement of the Digital ECA (Statute of Children and Adolescents) and the leading role of the ANPD in AI governance increase regulatory risks and require adjustments to products, data flows, and business models. Governance, risk assessment, and compliance become key factors for competitiveness and business sustainability.
