Portuguese authority Anacom to govern artificial intelligence nationwide
In a significant move, the Portuguese government has chosen Anacom to oversee the development and regulation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) within the country. The decision was made by Bernardo Correia, the Secretary of State for Digitalization, who justified the choice based on Anacom's broad experience in technological regulation.
Bernardo Correia, in his justification, highlighted Anacom's extensive background in regulating technology, which he believes will be instrumental in ensuring the ethical and responsible use of AI in Portugal. However, the previous institution where Secretary Correia worked as Secretary of State for Digitalization is not explicitly stated in the available search results.
Anacom, an acronym for Autoridade Nacional de Comunicações, has been a key player in Portugal's telecommunications sector for many years. Its role in overseeing AI marks a significant expansion of its remit and underscores the Portuguese government's commitment to the responsible development and use of AI.
The choice of Anacom to oversee AI in Portugal was not a sudden decision. It was a well-considered move, based on the institution's proven track record in technological regulation. The justification for this choice was clear: Anacom's broad experience, coupled with its expertise in technology, makes it the ideal institution to guide Portugal's AI journey.
As Portugal embarks on this new chapter in its technological evolution, the role of Anacom in overseeing AI is expected to be pivotal. The institution's mandate includes ensuring that AI is developed and used in a way that benefits all Portuguese citizens, while also promoting innovation and economic growth.
With Anacom at the helm, Portugal is poised to navigate the complex landscape of AI regulation with confidence and expertise. As more countries grapple with the challenges and opportunities presented by AI, Portugal's decision to entrust Anacom with this responsibility could serve as a model for others to follow.
