On 10 February 2025, the Brazilian National Data Protection Authority (ANPD) and France’s National Commission on Informatics and Liberty (CNIL) declared a strengthened bilateral cooperation to enhance regulatory practices in data protection and artificial intelligence during the AI Action Summit in Paris. The parties discussed regulatory sandboxes, AI governance, and cross-border data flow negotiations between Brazil, the EU, and the UK.
