ANALYSIS BY COUNTRY
BRAZILDOMINANT ANGLE
Digital sovereignty for the Global South against American and Chinese Big Tech dominance
Dominant angle identified — does not reflect unanimity of this country’s media
KEY POINTS
- •The Legal Framework (PL 2.338/2023) adopts a risk-classification structure mirroring the EU AI Act
- •The PBIA 2024-2028 allocates 23 billion reais for AI infrastructure and sovereign cloud capacity
- •Legislation stalls in the Chamber of Deputies with low passage prospects in 2026, an election year
- •A National AI Regulation and Governance System (SIA) is proposed
- •Dual rejection of American model (Silicon Valley-friendly) and Chinese approach (state-controlled)
BIASES
Digital sovereignty rhetoric without industrial capacity to operationalise itBRICS invoked as legitimising lever but lacking original normative content on AIUnderplayed gap between 23 billion reais and US/Chinese AI investment scales
SOUTH KOREADOMINANT ANGLE
National pride in a pioneering legislative framework balancing innovation with regulation
Dominant angle identified — does not reflect unanimity of this country’s media
KEY POINTS
- •AI Basic Act came into force on 22 January 2026, the second comprehensive AI law after the EU AI Act
- •Consolidation of 19 separate bills into a unified framework covering research, startups and safety
- •Three-tier governance: National Committee (led by President), Policy Centre, Safety Research Institute
- •Enhanced obligations for high-impact systems and mandatory labelling of generative AI
- •Grace period of at least one year before administrative sanctions are imposed
BIASES
Techno-nationalism: the AI Basic Act presented as superior to American and Japanese modelsFriction with Japan that structures the comparison between the two legislative frameworksOmission of chaebol power and media ownership in shaping AI coverage
