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.

What this law does

Drafted with AI from the cited sources under the direction of UnGovr staff. UnGovr holds editorial responsibility for this page.

Article 11 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 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 20 to 22 recognize ISO/IEC, 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, but the located text of the resolution does not state that publication date.
