The law covers several agents including: accountability, transparency, obligation to carry out algorithm assessments, continuous evaluation of the outcomes of the solution, non-discrimination and the obligation to process data in accordance to the Brazilian Data Protection law. The new bill of law also creates a new supervisory authority and sets forth several penalties.
