Through Resolution 9/2025, the Undersecretariat of Digital Government of the Ministry of Government of the Province of Buenos Aires established the first comprehensive framework for the development, implementation, and responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (“AI”) systems within the provincial public administration.
The Resolution sets out a series of foundational principles that must guide the use of AI in the public sector, including technological neutrality, human oversight, respect for human rights and democratic values, transparency, traceability and auditability of algorithms, accountability, equity, and security.
In addition, the framework adopts a risk-based approach, requiring all AI systems developed or used by public entities to undergo a preliminary risk assessment. To that end, the Resolution introduces four risk categories based on the level of impact the system may have on safety and fundamental rights:
- unacceptable risk,
- high risk,
- limited risk,
- minimal or no risk.
The classification particularly prohibits using AI systems deemed to pose an unacceptable risk, while high-risk technologies must undergo an algorithmic impact assessment and implement specific mitigation measures throughout their lifecycle.
Furthermore, the Resolution imposes several obligations regarding data governance and training data, requiring adherence to quality and security standards and compliance with data protection laws. It also mandates ongoing identification and mitigation of bias or discriminatory outcomes, acknowledging the potential impact of AI systems on fundamental rights.
Another relevant aspect is that public entities using AI systems to interact with individuals must clearly and previously inform users that such interaction is mediated by an AI tool, thereby reinforcing the principles of transparency and informational self-determination.
Finally, the Resolution creates the Provincial Registry of Artificial Intelligence Systems, for all public entities in the Province of Buenos Aires to register any AI system they develop or use. The Provincial Directorate of Digital Innovation will act as the competent authority responsible for issuing complementary guidelines, supervising compliance, and continuously monitoring the implementation of this new framework.
