Catalonia's regional government launched a public registry of the AI systems and algorithms its administration uses, going beyond EU AI Act rules to cover limited-risk and deterministic tools too. It opened with 31 published systems, documenting purpose, data, risks and status.

Context

In November 2025, the Departament de Presidencia of the Generalitat de Catalunya launched the Registre de sistemes d'intel.ligencia artificial i altres algorismes, a public online registry of the AI systems and algorithmic tools used by the Catalan administration, published as open data.

Activities

The registry documents purpose, scope, data used, technical process, identified risks, mitigation measures and development status for each system, covering examples from traffic-camera detection of seatbelt and mobile-phone use to tools processing electric-vehicle and solar-panel subsidy applications and forecasting emergency-call volumes.

Results

The registry opened with 31 published systems and explicitly goes beyond the EU AI Act's mandatory disclosure for high-risk systems by also covering limited-risk and purely deterministic, rule-based algorithms.

Conclusions

Given its recent launch, the registry's real-world effect on administrative accountability has not yet been independently evaluated.
