Law No. 31814 establishes six principles for the development and use of AI: risk-based safety standards, multi-stakeholder participation, internet governance, the digital-society approach, ethical development for responsible AI, and privacy. It declares AI development, digital talent and the use of emerging technologies for public services and national economic and social activity to be matters of national interest. The Presidency of the Council of Ministers, acting through the Secretariat of Government and Digital Transformation (SGTD), must direct, evaluate and supervise AI use and promotion, foster skills, digital and data infrastructure, ethical guidelines and national and international collaboration. The authority must report annually to Congress on implementation of the National Digital Transformation Policy and National AI Strategy and immediately notify Congress’s Intelligence Commission when it identifies serious threats or a breach of national cybersecurity.
Regulation
Verified record
- Risk classification summary
- The Law adopts risk-based safety as a governing principle but does not itself create operational prohibited, high-risk or acceptable-use categories; those categories are established by its Regulation.
- Requirements summary
- PCM/SGTD must direct, evaluate and supervise AI use and promotion; advance adoption, professional capacity, digital and public-data infrastructure, ethical guidance and collaboration; report annually to Congress; and notify the Intelligence Commission immediately of serious threats or national-cybersecurity breaches.
- Affected entities
- The direct institutional duties fall principally on the Presidency of the Council of Ministers through SGTD and on the Executive responsible for implementation. The statute promotes AI across public and private activity but does not itself impose the Regulation’s detailed operational duties on every private actor.
- Enforcement summary
- PCM/SGTD is the national technical and regulatory authority responsible for directing, evaluating and supervising AI use and promotion. The five-article Law does not establish a separate investigation, corrective-order or civil-action procedure.
