General Instruction on Algorithmic Transparency

In 2022, a participatory process was conducted to develop and test a proposal for a General Instruction that will be the first in Latin America to regulate algorithmic transparency issues.

This document seeks to make the operation of ethical algorithms in decision processes by the public sector transparent, for instance, calculating the value of a bonus quota, the socioeconomic classification for the Social Household Registry or the School Admissions System.

The proposal will be submitted to public consultation during the first trimester of this year, and after a period of vacancy, it will compel over 1000 state agencies to deliver information about the algorithms they use to provide their services to citizens in 2024.
