Brazil faces AI reliability, security and governance challenges

AI reliability phishing automation shadow AI UPS power AI governance

Brazilian companies and institutions are confronting several technical and organisational hurdles as artificial intelligence becomes integral to operations. A recent analysis stresses that even the most advanced AI models require uninterrupted, clean energy; modern uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) are now viewed as strategic components that must monitor power quality, battery health and redundancy to keep AI workloads running reliably.

Researchers at the Centro Paula Souza highlight the growing automation of phishing tools with AI, noting that the technology amplifies scale, personalization and speed of attacks. Defensive Security Orchestration, Automation and Response (SOAR) platforms are presented as a countermeasure that can shorten exposure windows through automated playbooks and enriched indicator handling.

The Catholic Church’s new encyclical, Magnifica Humanitas, is being discussed in Brazilian dioceses as a call for AI development that safeguards human dignity, urging companies to consider ethical, social and spiritual dimensions of technology.

A case study of Motorola Solutions shows AI reshaping organisational communication, offering faster decision‑making and security‑focused workflows while raising concerns over data bias, integration complexity, privacy and the risk of de‑humanising exchanges. Effective governance, edge computing and multidisciplinary oversight are recommended.

At the RNP 2026 Forum in Brasília, experts argue that AI will transform rather than replace workers, emphasizing the need for skilled personnel, cost‑effective scaling and demonstrable ROI. They stress that ethical, security and digital‑sovereignty considerations must be embedded from project inception.

Finally, the phenomenon of “shadow AI” – employees using unsanctioned AI tools – is identified as a growing security and compliance risk. Uncontrolled data exposure, lack of standardisation and potential breaches of Brazil’s LGPD highlight the urgency for clear policies and monitoring mechanisms.
