ANIA Registration #
Resolution No. 0001/2025 creates two tracks: voluntary registration for entities seeking the Law's Article 19 safeguards, and mandatory registration for operators deploying consequential-decision AI in six listed sectors. General-purpose model, API, platform, and cloud providers are not required to register solely because they supply those services; developers register only if they also operate a covered deployment. Existing covered systems received a 12-month grace period from the Resolution's effective date.
Requirements
| Requirement | Details |
|---|---|
| Mandatory operator registration | Before deployment, operators must register systems that meet the consequential-decision criteria and are used in one of the six listed sectors (Resolution Arts. 11-13) |
| Registration submission | Identify the applicant and contact, describe the AI activity and deployment context, confirm alignment with the Law's ethical principles, identify the triggering use, and summarize controls and the selected compliance path (Resolution Art. 13) |
| Express exclusions | General-purpose providers, infrastructure and development tools, controlled research or testing and personal use, training-phase systems, and ordinary consumer or productivity software are excluded unless later deployed for an Article 11 use (Resolution Art. 12) |
| Sector controls | Covered operators must implement proportionate security, incident-response procedures, and regular performance and impact review, demonstrating compliance through a recognized third-party certification or ANIA sandbox participation (Resolution Art. 14) |
| Voluntary safeguards registration | Entities may register voluntarily to obtain recognition for the Law's Article 19 safeguards (Resolution Art. 11) |
High-Risk AI Impact Assessment #
Law Article 17 makes the ANIA risk-framework requirements mandatory only for systems handling data classified as confidential, reserved, or personal. Resolution Articles 10 and 15 additionally require an algorithmic impact assessment for systems subject to mandatory registration because of a covered consequential-decision deployment.
Requirements
| Requirement | Details |
|---|---|
| Algorithmic impact assessment | Systems subject to mandatory registration must identify risks to affected people, assess likelihood and severity, document sector-appropriate mitigation and monitoring, and include bias testing and an equity assessment (Resolution Arts. 10(e), 15) |
| Sector controls | Covered operators must use proportionate security measures, incident-response procedures, and regular performance and impact review (Resolution Art. 14) |
| Compliance paths | Operators may use annual self-certification against ANIA-recognized standards, approved third-party certification, or participation in the ANIA sandbox (Resolution Art. 16) |
| Verification approach | ANIA may request evidence of implemented controls and prioritizes education and assistance over punitive action (Resolution Art. 17) |
| Data-triggered risk framework | The Law's Article 17 requirements are mandatory for systems handling confidential, reserved, or personal data |
Algorithmic Transparency #
The Resolution narrows the Law's general decision-notice language to adverse decisions made without meaningful human review in seven listed domains. The notice duty applies whether or not the entity is registered, subject to Article 25 exceptions.
Requirements
| Requirement | Details |
|---|---|
| Decision notice | Give clear, understandable notice when AI participated in a covered adverse decision made without meaningful human review (Resolution Art. 24) |
| Notice contents | Confirm AI participation, explain the role AI played, and provide a mechanism to contest the decision (Resolution Art. 24) |
| Review pathway | The Law requires a mechanism to contest the decision before a competent natural person who can confirm, modify, or revoke it; ANIA may issue nonbinding sector guidance on meaningful human review (Law Art. 18; Resolution Art. 26) |
| Exceptions | Notice is not required where disclosure would undermine fraud controls, cybersecurity, vulnerability assessment, law enforcement, regulatory compliance, national security, or legitimate security controls, or for specified content-recommendation, search, advertising, and basic productivity functions (Resolution Art. 25) |
