What it requires

  • These duties bind only the bodies of the central and decentralized Dominican public administration, public companies included. A private supplier meets them only through the clauses a contracting public institution must write into its tender documents and contracts.
  • If a procedure, service or decision that affects a person was supported by an artificial intelligence system, tell that person clearly, and state the purpose of the system, the relevant factors of the decision and the routes to ask for information, clarification or human review.
  • Set up accessible procedures for people to ask for human review of decisions that artificial intelligence systems supported.
  • Send periodically to OGTIC and DIGEIG the extract of your institutional register of artificial intelligence systems that goes into the public transparency portal of the State.
