- Before you put an artificial intelligence system into operation, carry out the Ethical and Rights Impact Assessment where one applies, and obtain the approval of the Dirección General de Ética e Integridad Gubernamental if the system is classified as high impact.
- Keep human oversight and continuous monitoring in place across the whole life cycle of your artificial intelligence systems, especially those classified as high impact.
- Take the measures needed to prevent and correct bias, errors, security failures, disproportionate effects or uses incompatible with the Code.
- Put a high-impact system that is already in operation through an Ethical and Rights Impact Assessment within the period the Dirección General de Ética e Integridad Gubernamental sets.
