Oficina de Inteligencia Artificial (AI Office)
Office to monitor and manage public-sector AI projects.
How the laws define this
Both legal descriptions frame the Oficina de Inteligencia Artificial (AI Office) as an entity dedicated to monitoring and overseeing artificial intelligence projects within the Galician public sector. They diverge primarily in the level of operational detail provided regarding the office's responsibilities. Under Galicia Law 2/2025, of April 2, for the development and promotion of artificial intelligence in Galicia, the definition expands this mandate into specific administrative and support duties, including ensuring compliance with applicable principles and technical requirements, maintaining registers and lifecycle documentation, and supporting the implementation and assessment of public AI systems. In contrast, Galicia AI Law 2/2025 provides a high-level definition that restricts its description solely to the core task of monitoring and overseeing these public sector projects, omitting any mention of compliance enforcement, register maintenance, or technical assessment support.
Synthesised from the 2 statutory definitions below. Each one is quoted in full, with its source.
