Its AI responsibilities
Two general-purpose participation platforms covering AI when an AI bill or an AI-related regulation is open. e-Democracia covers Chamber bills including PL 2338/2023 and its 37 appended bills; Participa + Brasil covers executive-branch consultations including ANPD's.
Honest assessment
These are the genuinely low-friction Brazilian routes for an ordinary person and the ones to recommend first. Audiências Interativas in particular are a real and underused lever: you can put a question directly into a live committee hearing on PL 2338 and have a deputy read it aloud, at zero cost and with no gatekeeper. Honest limits: comments carry no obligation on anyone to respond, Wikilegis contributions are advisory, and reach depends on whether staff choose to compile them. Portuguese-only. But 'can an ordinary person actually use this' — yes, unambiguously, for a Brazilian.
Current business
e-Democracia offers Wikilegis (clause-by-clause commenting on bill text), enquetes (polls for/against a bill), and Audiências Interativas (submit questions live during committee hearings, which deputies read out). The Chamber has announced a restructuring of the e-Democracia portal, so URLs and feature names may shift. Participa + Brasil hosts open federal consultations with comment forms.
Public route
e-Democracia: free registration, then comment on a bill's text in Wikilegis, vote in an enquete, or submit a question during a live committee hearing. Participa + Brasil: open the consultation, fill the form; some consultations do not require registration.
Format rules
None on either. No signature or supporter counts. Free, and largely registration-light.
Languages
Portuguese only on both platforms.
Research note
Both platforms VERIFIED as live official portals. The announced restructuring of e-Democracia is VERIFIED from the Chamber's own notice page — expect URL churn. The specific feature set (Wikilegis, enquetes, audiências interativas) is drawn from official Chamber participation documentation; confirm current feature availability after the restructuring.
