The Superintendencia de Seguridad Social (SUSESO) joined seven public institutions in a pilot program testing ethical algorithm tools developed by GobLab at Universidad Adolfo Ibanez.

SUSESO is piloting two data science projects:

Predictive Model for Medical Licenses

Predictive Insurance Model Audit

Tools Being Tested:
Two instruments were developed by GobLab's team:

1. Algorithmic Transparency Form — applicable to any data science or AI models
2. Bias Measurement and Statistical Equity Tool — designed for binary or multiclass predictive systems

Superintendenta Pamela Gana stated the goal: "to subject our data science initiatives to the highest ethical and transparency standards" while gaining expert guidance.

Program Context:
These free, open-source tools (available in Spanish) implement Chile's National AI Policy. The initiative, begun in 2020 with BID Lab, represents a unique global effort in practical responsible AI implementation.

Partners include: Ministry of Science, ChileCompra, Gobierno Digital, IPS, SUSESO, Civil Service, and Council for Transparency.

Participation: Public sector data science and AI projects in development, implementation, or production phases can apply at www.algoritmospublicos.cl.
