Article 12 and digital governance
Article 12 and AI Systems
When a public function is carried out through an AI model, software workflow or contracted technology, constitutional responsibility should remain traceable. This page treats that position as constitutional analysis, not as a claim that every question is settled law.
The question
Article 12 matters because it helps locate the authority answerable for public power. If an AI system influences recognition, service access, risk classification, benefit delivery or grievance handling, the citizen still needs an accountable public authority, a record of the decision and a route to remedy.
What the record supports
- The existing Article 12 page frames public authority as the first question of accountability.
- The Digital Constitutional Personhood framework requires explanation, correction, human review and traceability when digital systems affect rights.
- The intelligence archive contains case files where portals, records, certifications and grievance systems are tested against citizen outcomes.
Limits of the present evidence
This page does not identify a specific deployed AI model or assert unlawful automated decision-making by a named institution. It establishes the archive's accountability test for future AI-related records.
