AI Law 31814 + Reglamento — risk-based regime

Binds Public and private AI developers / deployers. Prohibited / high-risk / acceptable tiers; high-risk AI needs prior evaluation, human oversight and transparency.

DS 115-2025-PCM, approving the Reglamento of Ley 31814, was published in El Peruano on 9 September 2025. The Reglamento entered into force 90 business days after publication, i.e. 22 January 2026, except for four provisions (creation of a digital AI channel and the National AI Strategy) that took effect the day after publication. The Reglamento sets an implementation schedule by sector: health, education, justice, security, economy and finance obligations apply from 10 September 2026; transport, commerce and work from 10 September 2027; production, agriculture, energy and mining from 10 September 2028. Computation of the ninety-business-day vacatio verified 31 Aug 2026 and it does not move, but this is the one row in the sweep where the arithmetic and the statutory count come apart unless a second decree is brought in, and that is recorded here so it is never re-derived. The Disposición Complementaria Final of DS 115-2025-PCM provides that the Decreto Supremo «entra en vigencia a partir de los noventa (90) días hábiles siguientes de su publicación en el diario oficial El Peruano», with the First, Second, Fourth and Fifth Disposiciones Complementarias Finales of the Reglamento in force the day after publication. Publication was 9 September 2025. The counting rule is the TUO de la Ley 27444, under which a term stated in days «se entenderá por hábiles consecutivos, excluyendo del cómputo aquellos no laborables del servicio, y los feriados no laborables de orden nacional o regional», with the initial day excluded, so business day 1 is Wednesday 10 September 2025. Excluded as feriados nacionales: 8 October, 1 November (a Saturday in any event), 8 December, 9 December — a feriado since Ley 31381, which amended art. 6 of Decreto Legislativo 713 — and 25 December 2025, then 1 January 2026. Excluded in addition, and this is the decisive point, are the días no laborables declared for the public sector at national level by Decreto Supremo n.º 042-2025-PCM, published in El Peruano on 3 April 2025: Friday 26 December 2025 and Friday 2 January 2026. Counting on that basis, business day 90 falls on Thursday 22 January 2026, the date carried. Counting the national feriados alone and omitting the two decreed días no laborables puts day 90 on 20 January 2026 instead. The published date is therefore correct, but it is correct only by reason of an unrelated decree issued four months before the Reglamento, and the two-day margin was previously undocumented.
