The CBWT Diaries | Part 7: Rio de Janeiro 🇧🇷

🗓️ November 28, 2025
📍 Rio de Janeiro & Manaus, Brazil
🙏🏿 Made possible by a vibrant coalition of Brazilian partners

When we first embarked on the Coded Bias journey, we had big dreams for where we'd go. But we never envisioned screening the documentary on a boat floating down the Amazon River. 🛶🌿

Our Brazil stop was a journey of incredible contrasts. We started deep in the Amazon in Manaus, partnering with WEF Young Global Leaders for an intercultural learning journey led by Luana Génot. There, floating on the river, we grounded our work by learning directly from Indigenous leaders and local entrepreneurs.

From the Amazon, we made our way to Rio de Janeiro to screen the film in Brazilian Portuguese. The energy was electric and driven by immediate stakes. Policymakers in Brazil are debating the use of facial recognition technologies in public spaces, including football stadiums. To meet this moment, we held a post-film Q&A featuring Brazilian activist and computer scientist Nina da Hora alongside Dr. Joy Buolamwini (@jovialjoy). Together they explored:
❓What are the AI risks and opportunities in Brazil?
❓Who truly benefits from the collection and use of biometric data in AI systems?
❓How might "data nutrition labels" change the way we interact with AI tools?
❓...and what actually is a Poet of Code?

This stop took a village: The Núcleo Rio de Janeiro RBAC, Secretaria Municipal de Ciência, Tecnologia e Inovação do Rio de Janeiro, Instituto da Hora, Cátedra Fredric Litto - UFRJ, Tatiana Roque, Carla Rênes, Ana Carolina da Hora, Semaj Warren Moore, and Veronica Vieira from Diaspora Black.

From a boat on the Amazon to national news, we held #CriticalAIConversations pushing to protect our public spaces and ensure technology serves the people.

.@DalaiLama’s & @Pontifex’s words of wisdom carry wonderful weight in the Age of AI.💯

They inspire us to listen broadly & tend our #CivicAI garden with ⿻Plurality & 6⃣Pack of Care principles.

"We must ensure that [technology] serves as an ally, not a threat, in the growth and development of children and adolescents." — Pope Leo XIV

Some rooms you never forget walking into. 🕊️

Last November, an AJL delegation traveled to the Vatican to join leaders from government, academia, and civil society for a convening on one of the most urgent questions of our time: what does AI mean for the next generation?

Our founder, Dr. Joy Buolamwini (@jovialjoy), joined Megan J. Smith (@smithmegan), Cathy O'Neil (@mathbabedotorg), and Camille François (@camillefrancois) to make the case directly: safeguarding children from AI harm is a moral imperative, and a responsibility that belongs to all of us, across every faith and every community.

💬 From Dr. Joy: "Faith communities around the world are starting to embrace the responsibility of safeguarding the next generation as unchecked AI systems pose threats to dignity, mental health, and human relationships. I hope to see growing interfaith dialogues that bring wisdom traditions to AI deliberations."

🏆 And a full circle moment we didn't see coming. It was in that very space that we first crossed paths with Megan L. Garcia, who would go on to receive AJL's 2025 Global AI Justice Award.

The fight for accountable AI belongs everywhere. Even, and especially, the Vatican. 🔗 https://t.co/W4nhJSnlll

Dr Caroline Emmer De Albuquerque Green, our Director of Research at the Institute for Ethics in AI, was featured this month on the @FinancialTimes podcast Tech Tonic in the episode Artificial intimacy: Prescribing robots to combat loneliness.

The episode, hosted by @CristinaCriddle, focuses on how policymakers are trialling AI companions to help tackle loneliness among elderly and vulnerable populations. But can machines really replace human company? And are we outsourcing care for marginalised communities to robots?

📄In a new Tech Policy Press (@techpolicypress) perspective, Professor Yuval Shany (@yuvalshany1) explores the legal and ethical foundations of AI systems through the case of Anthropic’s Claude.

The article highlights how Claude’s newly published “Constitution” sets out rules on safety, ethics and acceptable use, but raises concerns about the absence of explicit human rights protections within its framework.

It argues that recent developments - including tensions with the US Department of Defense and reported military uses of AI - expose gaps in governance, and proposes that human rights should be embedded directly into AI systems “by design” to ensure stronger safeguards and accountability.
