With the objective of presenting a simplified approach to risk assessment regarding the governmental use of Artificial Intelligence, including actual and potential threats to rights and public spaces, Transparência Brasil developed this risk-assessment framework and transparency evaluation.

The framework is structured around four tracks: (i) risks related to the nature of the tool; (ii) risks of algorithmic discrimination; (iii) risks of violations of privacy rights; and (iv) risks of potential abuse of authority in civic spaces. It also provides a transparency evaluation of the development, procurement, and implementation of AI systems by public authorities.
