Evaluation of Impact

Human-rights-focused impact assessment (DPIA-like) for AI projects.

How the laws define this

Both frameworks establish that an evaluation of impact is a preventive assessment mechanism designed to identify and mitigate risks before deployment while determining required technical and organizational safeguards. The primary divergence lies in scope, applicability, and procedural obligations. Under Expediente 3003-D-2024 – Régimen jurídico aplicable para el uso responsable de la Inteligencia Artificial (bill), the requirement is a broad, human-rights-oriented assessment for AI systems that mandates ongoing updates across the lifecycle, formal documentation, public disclosure for high-risk systems, and direct integration into registration and authorization decisions. Conversely, Resolución 4/2025 – Directrices de uso de Inteligencia Artificial Generativa en la Administración Pública (Provincia de Buenos Aires, Subsecretaría de Gobierno Digital) focuses exclusively on generative AI (IAGen) deployments within public administration, framing the process around use-case risk levels to address specific privacy, bias, legal, and operational risks without establishing broader public disclosure or authorization workflows.

Synthesised from the 2 statutory definitions below. Each one is quoted in full, with its source.

How jurisdictions differ

What is distinctive in each definition, binding law in force first.

Jurisdiction	Instrument	Status	What is distinctive
Argentina	Resolution 4/2025 – Guidelines for the Use of Generative Artificial Intelligence in Public Administration (Province of Buenos Aires, Subsecretariat of Digital Government)	In Force	Requires assessment according to use-case risk level, focusing on privacy, bias, legal, and operational risks for specific IAGen deployments in public administration, with preventive mitigation of those risks.
Argentina	Expediente 3003-D-2024 – Legal regime for the responsible use of AI	Under Review	Mandates public disclosure for high-risk systems, lifecycle updates, and uses the assessment to inform registration, authorization, and safeguard decisions nationwide.

What it triggers

In Resolution 4/2025 of Buenos Aires, it is required according to the use-case risk level for generative AI deployments in public administration.source
Under Expediente 3003-D-2024, it would be required prior to deployment and updated during the lifecycle for AI systems, with public disclosure for high-risk systems to inform registration and authorization.source

Definitions (2)

A required human-rights-oriented assessment (similar to a DPIA) that identifies, evaluates and proposes mitigation for risks an AI system may pose to individuals or groups; the procedure includes documentation, public disclosure (for high-risk systems), and must be performed prior to deployment and updated during the lifecycle. The Evaluation of Impact is a compliance instrument used to determine required safeguards and to inform registration and authorization decisions.

Expediente 3003-D-2024 – Régimen jurídico aplicable para el uso responsable de la Inteligencia Artificial (Legal regime for the responsible use of AI) (bill)Definition 1 of 2

A preventive assessment instrument required according to the use-case risk level, designed to identify and mitigate privacy, bias, legal and operational risks associated with a specific IAGen deployment and to determine necessary technical and organizational safeguards.

Not to be confused with

AI Impact Assessment

AI Impact Assessment is a general documented analysis of risks and harms before deployment, while Evaluation of Impact adds human-rights focus, mitigation proposals, and procedural requirements like disclosure.

Human Rights Impact Assessment

Human Rights Impact Assessment evaluates effects on fundamental rights, whereas Evaluation of Impact structures this as a required DPIA-like procedure with documentation, disclosure, and lifecycle updates.

Questions and answers

When is an Evaluation of Impact required under Argentine rules?

Under Resolution 4/2025, it is required according to the use-case risk level for generative AI in public administration. Expediente 3003-D-2024 would require it prior to deployment and during lifecycle updates for AI systems.

What does Evaluation of Impact cover?

It identifies and mitigates privacy, bias, legal, and operational risks per Resolution 4/2025. Expediente 3003-D-2024 adds evaluation of risks to individuals or groups with mitigation proposals and safeguard determinations.

Is public disclosure needed for Evaluation of Impact?

Expediente 3003-D-2024 would require public disclosure for high-risk systems.
