The Portuguese Parliament is debating the need to legislate on the risks of artificial intelligence. The discussion comes at a time when AI regulation has been gaining relevance internationally.
João Tilly, member of the Chega party (CH), recognizes the need to pay attention to the issue, but refuses to adopt an alarmist position. He argues that any legislation should be measured and not excessively restrictive.
André Pinotes Batista, from the Socialist Party (PS), recommends greater scrutiny of AI technologies. According to him, the risks associated with these technologies justify particular attention from legislators.
Jorge Miguel Teixeira, from the Liberal Initiative (IL), believes that the discussion about AI regulation should be deferred to the United States and China, suggesting that Portugal should follow the decisions made by these technological powers instead of taking the lead in developing its own legislation.
