Brazil’s government has enlisted OpenAI to streamline the screening and analysis of lawsuits using artificial intelligence (AI), aiming to avert costly court losses that strain the federal budget. The initiative involves Microsoft’s Azure cloud-computing platform delivering AI services from ChatGPT creator, OpenAI. This move comes as court-ordered debt payments increasingly burden Brazil’s budget, with an estimated 70.7 billion reais ($13.2 billion) allocated for judicial decisions next year, excluding small-value claims which historically add around 30 billion reais annually. This combined amount has surged from 37.3 billion reais in 2015, now equivalent to roughly 1% of GDP or 15% more than what is budgeted for unemployment insurance and wage bonuses for low-income workers. The AI project, funded partly by 25 million reais in supplementary credits released by the Planning Ministry, will enhance the efficiency and accuracy of the solicitor general’s office (AGU) without replacing human oversight, ensuring all activities are supervised by AGU members and employees.
