[globalsouthdata] The São Luís Declaration on Artificial Intelligence

[Rafael Zanatta]

Hi, folks!

I would like to share a new Declaration that Data Privacy Brasil was
heavily involved in.

On Tuesday (10), the main G20 engagement groups, including Civil 20 (C20),
Labor 20 (L20), Think 20 (T20) and Women 20 (W20), announced a
groundbreaking joint statement on the *ethical, sustainable and inclusive
development and deployment of artificial intelligence (AI)*. In response to
the growing influence of AI on global economies, societies and governance,
the *Civil 20 (C20), Labor 20 (L20), Think 20 (T20) and Women 20 (W20)*
engagement groups have come together to stress the importance of
responsible AI practices.

The “São Luís Declaration
<https://www.dataprivacybr.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/20240910-Sao-Luis-Declaration-Artificial-Intelligence.pdf>”
outlines a shared vision and strategic recommendations for AI’s future
within the G20 framework. It is named after the city in Northeast Brazil,
where the third G20 Digital Economy Working Group meeting took place in
June. São Luís also hosted the “*AI Summit: Bridging Boundaries*,” a T20
event co-organized by Data Privacy Brasil, where the groundwork for the
declaration was laid.

This declaration represents a *significant milestone in the G20’s dynamics
and the plural and multistakeholder construction of policies on such a
transversal issue*. The engagement groups, whose purpose is to bring policy
recommendations to the G20 Sherpa track, sought beyond their interests to
align their demands and expectations with other groups so that, together,
their recommendations would carry more weight. Furthermore, the fact that
four groups are aligned on the points presented in the Declaration
increases the legitimacy of the document, which will be delivered to
the *Digital
Economy Working Group *during its final meeting in Maceió, Brazil, in
September 2024.

Key points of the declaration include decent work, meaningful inclusion and
climate and social justice, especially taking into account the
specificities of different jurisdictions and hyper-vulnerable groups
through an intersectional approach; the data justice approach, which means
actively avoiding discrimination and acknowledging power asymmetries at the
global level; and regulatory interoperability amongst the AI governance
approaches, to promote greater certainty, transparency and accountability,
also complying with safety standards.

The full text of the joint statement is now available and can be accessed

.

I am also sharing the full document attached.

Please get in touch with us to talk more about the Declaration and the
process, if needed.

All the best,
