ANATEL's Public Consultation No. 31 falls under Item 10 of the 2025-2026 Regulatory Agenda and seeks to establish guidelines for the telecommunications sector regarding the ethical use of artificial intelligence-based applications.

The proposal is based on the premise that artificial intelligence and connectivity must be developed in an integrated manner, ensuring that AI applications in the provision of telecommunications services meet security, transparency, and accountability criteria.

It also proposes that these technological solutions be aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals and international recommendations, especially those published by UNESCO and the ITU.

WHOM DOES IT IMPACT?

The direct impact is on telecommunications service administrators and providers that operate networks and associated platforms (mobile, fixed, broadband, MVNOs, ISPs), and AI equipment and software suppliers.

CONCLUSION:

Public Consultation No. 31 reshapes sector oversight by explicitly incorporating AI into the RFR and enabling automated and remote oversight mechanisms. The expected result is greater transparency and oversight over the use of AI in connectivity, with cross-cutting implications for compliance and operations.
