What it requires

  • If your AI system is the controlling factor in a decision that materially affects a person's legal status, rights, or access to essential goods, services or opportunities, and it operates in a registrable sector (primary health diagnosis or treatment, creditworthiness or insurance and loan decisions, real-time biometric identification in public spaces, the exercise of government authority or public benefits, unsupervised hiring or compensation decisions, or academic admission or grading), register with ANIA.
  • You may demonstrate compliance through self-certification, third-party certification, or ANIA's supervised sandbox.

These lines are LexLint's reading of the law's text.

Our reading of where this law's duties sit in each framework. It never says that running a control meets the law. How we read a framework against the law

What it makes you log

Logging duty

Article 11 classifies registration as voluntary or mandatory and lists the sectors that trigger mandatory registration; it states no duty of its own to create, keep, or produce a record. The register's actual documentation and access apparatus sits elsewhere in the same Resolución, outside article 11: article 13 lists what a registration application must contain, article 15 requires documenting sector-appropriate mitigation measures as part of a mandatory algorithmic impact assessment, article 19 limits ANIA to specified categories of compliance evidence it may demand, and article 28 gives ANIA a document-review, remote-audit, or on-site-visit compliance-verification power.

Research summary

Legal information, not legal advice. This is LexLint's own research summary of a public legal source, and it creates no attorney-client relationship. For decisions that matter, consult qualified counsel in the relevant jurisdiction. About LexLint

Article 4(e) defines a 'Decisión Consecuencial' as one where an AI system, as the controlling factor, materially affects a person's legal status, rights, or access to essential goods, services or opportunities, and Article 11 requires an operator to register with ANIA when its AI system meets that test and is deployed in specified sectors, including primary health diagnosis or treatment, creditworthiness or loan and insurance approval, real-time biometric identification in public spaces, the exercise of government authority or the grant or denial of public benefits, unsupervised hiring or compensation decisions, and academic admission or grading.

Article 23 offers a supervised twelve-month sandbox with a sanctions grace period, and articles 21 and 22 recognize ISO/IEC, National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and IEEE standards as creating a rebuttable presumption of conformity. Article 30 provides the disposition takes effect eight days after publication in the Diario Oficial, and no official source stating the day it came into force has been located.
