Artificial intelligence is an emerging and disruptive technology that requires a multifaceted approach that considers not only technical aspects, but also social, economic, and legal impacts. This research studies how ethics and law are applied in the responsible development of artificial intelligence systems. To this end, a comparative study is made of the international legislative contributions and political initiatives of the European Union, the United States, Canada, and Brazil for the responsible, rational, and value-added approach to the issue for economies. The study highlights how different jurisdictions approach the regulation of artificial intelligence, analyzing governance, best practices, and identifying gaps to be filled to ensure development in an ethical and responsible manner, promoting innovation without compromising fundamental rights, privacy, and the security of individuals. Using a deductive and bibliographical research method, the dissertation is developed to bring up discussions on the ontology and deontology of artificial intelligence and the issues that permeate it, such as the applications of law and ethics, and the explainability of these processes. In a complementary way, the main legislative strategies and initiatives of the European Union, the United States and Canada were presented in order to contribute to the normative development of Artificial Intelligence, while the framework of legislative strategies and initiatives of Brazil was analyzed even more specifically. To summarize the study, a comparative table of similarities and contributions of initiatives between Brazil and these international countries was presented. The objective is to provide a comprehensive and critical analysis of legislative and political approaches, in order to seek to propose recommendations for the improvement of the Brazilian regulatory framework. In this way, the research intends to contribute to the global debate on the governance of artificial intelligence, offering ideas that can guide public policies and legal practices capable of balancing technological innovation with the protection of human rights and the promotion of social well-being.
