Sistema de inteligencia artificial

Machine-based system that produces outputs from inputs, per EU AI Act.

How the laws define this

Both statutory formulations established under LEY 2/2025, de 2 de abril, para el desarrollo e impulso de la inteligencia artificial en Galicia agree on a core framework: an AI system is a machine-based system that infers how to generate outputs from explicit or implicit objectives and received inputs. Both texts recognize that these outputs—specifically predictions, content, recommendations, or decisions—possess the capacity to influence physical or virtual environments. Divergence appears in the specific operational criteria and reference instruments cited. One definition strictly incorporates system behavior requirements, specifying that the machine-based system must be designed to operate with varying levels of autonomy and be capable of adapting after deployment, while explicitly aligning with Regulation (EU) 2024/1689. In contrast, the second definition omits references to autonomy and post-deployment adaptation, applying more broadly to any machine-based system while citing alignment with definitions from the OECD and European institutions.

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

Definitions (2)

A machine-based system designed to operate with varying levels of autonomy and capable of adapting after deployment; it infers, from explicit or implicit objectives and given inputs, how to generate outputs (predictions, content, recommendations or decisions) that can influence physical or virtual environments, in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2024/1689.

Any machine-based system that, for explicit or implicit objectives, infers from the input it receives how to generate outputs such as predictions, content, recommendations, or decisions that can influence physical or virtual environments, aligning with definitions from the OECD and European institutions.
