How the laws define this

Both regulatory instruments ground the concept in official authority and governance, but they fundamentally diverge on whether the term designates an administrative body or an enforceable command. Under Resolución 90/2021 – Programa de Inteligencia Artificial (Program of Artificial Intelligence), the term identifies a specific organizational unit—the Dirección Nacional de Gestión del Conocimiento—empowered to direct, operationalize, and control the Program, propose complementary norms, and dispose human and budgetary resources for its execution. In contrast, the Online Safety (Relief and Accountability) Bill (OSRA Bill) defines the term as an explicit statutory instruction issued by the Commissioner or OSC. Rather than an administrative entity, it represents a binding order compelling platforms or communicators to take specific remedial steps, such as removing or restricting content, restricting accounts, or permitting a victim's right of reply within prescribed timelines, backed by enforcement measures for non-compliance.
