What this law does

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

This resolution binds any controller or processor that develops, trains, implements, deploys, or provides an artificial-intelligence system that processes personal data, whenever that system falls within the LOPDP's material and territorial scope. Article 4 guarantees, at all times, the data subject's right not to be the object of a decision based solely or partly on automated valuations, together with the right to information and the right to object.

Article 5 requires the controller or processor to inform the data subject clearly and specifically about the AI-based processing, and article 6 requires a prior risk-management process and impact assessment before developing an AI system that will process personal data. The resolution states that it takes effect upon its publication in the Registro Oficial; the signed text itself does not independently confirm that publication has occurred.
