Governance

authority of application

Designated oversight body for AI registration and review.

How the laws define this

Designated administrative entities serve as the primary legal mechanisms for putting artificial intelligence legislation into effect, establishing implementing procedures, and drafting enabling regulations. The instruments diverge, however, on how governance functions are assigned and the specific scope of operational powers granted. Under Expediente 1472-D-2023 – Modificaciones a la Ley 25467 (Ciencia, Tecnología e Innovación) relativas a Inteligencia Artificial, authority is divided between specific bodies, making GACTEC the registry and oversight body while SETCIP handles operational secretariat duties like registration, complaint intake, reviews, and suspension orders. In contrast, Expediente 3900-D-2024 – Creación del Observatorio Federal sobre Inteligencia Artificial tasks an executive-designated authority with administering the observatory's functioning, determining operational modalities, making required budgetary adjustments, and adopting measures arising from the observatory's reports, rather than managing active enforcement mechanisms like suspension orders.
