Brazil: Bill on use and restrictions of artificial intelligence glasses, including data protection regulation, was introduced to Chamber of Deputies

On 2 February 2026, the Bill on the use and restrictions of artificial intelligence (AI) glasses, including data protection regulation, was introduced to the Chamber of Deputies. The Bill regulates the conditions, duties, and restrictions on AI glasses with audio-visual capture and data processing capabilities. The Bill applies to manufacturers, developers and suppliers placing such devices on the Brazilian market. It requires a valid legal basis under the General Personal Data Protection Law for third-party data capture, clear notice to affected individuals, and appropriate safeguards. The Bill also requires suppliers to implement privacy by design, ensure visible or audible recording signals, disable facial recognition and sensitive inference functions by default, publish technical documentation, and conduct a data protection impact assessment before commercialisation. It also provides that commercialisation is subject to a declaration of conformity and oversight by the National Data Protection Authority (ANPD). Breaches may trigger civil, administrative and criminal liability, including sanctions under the General Personal Data Protection Law.
