Biometric Update reports that Brazilian courts have increasingly ruled in favor of plaintiffs in cases involving failures of AI facial recognition systems. These cases often concern wrongful identification and breaches of privacy, underscoring the need for AI systems to meet high standards of accuracy and fairness. The judiciary is scrutinizing AI use in public security and law enforcement, demanding transparency and mechanisms for redress. The rulings highlight concerns about bias and discrimination inherent in some biometric AI technologies.

These legal precedents may drive stronger regulation and oversight of AI biometric systems in Brazil, reinforcing the judiciary’s role in protecting citizens from AI-related harms.
