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
GERMANYDOMINANT ANGLE
Tension between European regulatory compliance and industrial competitiveness of Germany's Mittelstand
Dominant angle identified — does not reflect unanimity of this country’s media
KEY POINTS
- •Federal cabinet approved AI Act transposition law in February 2026, ahead of August deadline
- •Bundesnetzagentur designated as oversight authority, with UKIM market surveillance chamber and KoKIVO coordination centre
- •Growing concern for Mittelstand facing American competitors unencumbered by regulatory constraints
- •No globally significant generative AI model developed in Germany
- •August 2026 deadline creates acute time pressure on the administrative apparatus
BIASES
Reflexive ordoliberalism: regulation treated as moral virtue, rarely scrutinised for effectivenessPrincipled Europeanism that masks quiet defence of German industrial interests (automotive, chemicals, engineering)Absence of geopolitical thinking on technology—the Zeitenwende has not reached digital policy
