  • In that notification, confirm that AI was involved, explain the role it played, and give the person a way to challenge the decision.

Logging duty

Article 24 never uses the words log, record, or audit trail, but the notification it requires must at minimum confirm that AI was involved, explain the role it played, and provide a mechanism to challenge the decision, which cannot be done without a record of what the decision was, so the duty is implicit.

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 24 requires any entity using an AI system to make a decision affecting a person in El Salvador to notify them, independent of whether the entity is subject to registration, whenever the decision was made without meaningful human review and negatively affects the person's rights or economic situation in health, financial services, employment, education, government benefits, housing, or transportation.

The notification must be clear and understandable and must at minimum confirm that AI was involved, explain the role it played, and provide a mechanism to challenge the decision. Article 25 exempts the duty where disclosure would undermine fraud detection or cybersecurity, support law enforcement or national-security functions, or where the AI's role is limited to content recommendation, search results, advertising optimization, or basic spellcheck and grammar assistance.
