Boletín N° 16.821-19, arts. 5 y 6 (proyecto de ley que regula los sistemas de inteligencia artificial)

A citation is an address, not a summary. The first part names the law; what follows narrows it to the exact section, article or paragraph.

Proposed: draft date not recorded.

An AI prohibited practices rule binding public and private bodies.

As of 2 September 2026.

What it requires

  • This bill has not been enacted and does not currently bind any operator.
  • If passed as introduced, an operator, provider, or implementer would need to determine whether its AI system falls in the riesgo inaceptable category (incompatible with fundamental rights) before placing it on the market or putting it into service in Chile, since that category is banned outright subject to narrow therapeutic or public-safety exceptions.

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 5 of this bill classifies AI systems into four risk categories (riesgo inaceptable, alto riesgo, riesgo limitado, sin riesgo evidente). Article 6 bans the market introduction or entry into service of any AI system in the riesgo inaceptable category, defined as incompatible with respect for and guarantee of people's fundamental rights, subject to exceptions for therapeutic and public-safety use.

The bill has passed the Chamber of Deputies and remains under second constitutional review in the Senate; it does not currently bind anyone.
