"Slowing down AI development is a 'mirage'", says Adolfo Mesquita Nunes

Jornal de Negócios15 September 2026 at 15:04

Adolfo Mesquita Nunes, partner at law firm Pérez-Llorca, considered that halting the development of artificial intelligence is a "mirage" and does not constitute a realistic option. The lawyer commented that, although the advancement of technology is raising concerns even within the industry itself, the idea of interrupting or slowing down this progress is not viable.

Instead of halting development, Mesquita Nunes defends the implementation of rules and safeguards that allow limiting the risks associated with artificial intelligence. His position focuses on regulation as a way to control the dangers of technology, rather than blocking its advancement.

This perspective is particularly relevant for the most sensitive sectors, where AI risks can have more significant consequences. The lawyer suggests that it is possible to reconcile technological innovation with necessary protection through an adequate regulatory framework.

Why this matters

This position from a technology law specialist is relevant for companies and policymakers in the Lusophone region, as it influences the debate on how to regulate AI without stifling innovation. The defense of specific rules for sensitive sectors may shape future national and European legislation on artificial intelligence.
