Portugal at the Forefront of Innovation-Driven AI Regulation
AI is advancing rapidly, transforming industries, the society, and impacting every aspect of our lives.
AI advancements bring risks, ethical dilemmas and challenges.
There is a lack of available knowledge about the true risks and potential of AI in our society.
Portugal can lead by example with the implementation of the AI Act, by effectively combining the strengths of key stakeholders.
Our Vision for AI Regulation
A Multi-Disciplinary Approach
Ethics
Ethics must be at the core of AI regulation and of AI development to ensure technological advancements align with human-centric values.
Law
Implementing the AI Act requires navigating complex legal frameworks to balance innovation with the protection of fundamental rights.
Literacy
Enhancing AI literacy is crucial for empowering society to understand the implications of AI, ensuring informed and responsible use of technologies.
Involving a Broad Range of Stakeholders
We believe AI Regulation can only be effectively implemented if we can find synergies between public administration, academia, industry and civil society.
Public Administration
Academia

Civil Society
Creating Science for Policy through collaboration
We aim to empower decision-makers in Portugal with scientific insights and concrete recommendations from experts to guide the implementation of the AI Act.
For once, Portugal doesn’t need, and cannot, simply follow others. We have the capability to set an example for Europe in implementing the AI Act with the collaboration of all stakeholders.
