The AI is a very powerful tool that can help solve complex problems, as long as it is contextualized within the public policy problem that it seeks to solve, and the ethical and legal problems involved in the application of automatic decision-making tools are addressed. This manual is part of a series of documents and tools aimed at guiding policymakers and their technical teams in mitigating the challenges inherent in AI-based decision support systems and in promoting their responsible adoption. This manual is intended to help those responsible for formulating projects with AI-based support systems to carry out their planning and design, as well as to subsequently lead their execution and monitoring.
