With the help of artificial intelligence, objections by citizens regarding fines related to uninsured vehicles, road taxes, technical inspections, and vehicle immobilization declarations will now be examined.
How the new AADE platform for vehicle fine objections will work
According to a decision by the Independent Authority for Public Revenue (AADE), which communicates the new legislative provisions, the General Secretariat for Information Systems and Digital Governance is provided with the ability to utilize a specialized artificial intelligence platform to support the competent services in reviewing objections submitted by citizens against penalty imposition acts, as well as declarations concerning vehicles in an inactive state.
The digital platform will process the data and supporting documents submitted by vehicle owners in order to formulate substantiated recommendations to the competent authorities. The goal is to facilitate the evaluation of both the legality of the fines and the validity of the arguments presented by citizens.
Which cases will it examine
The new system will support the processing of:
- Objections to fines imposed for insurance coverage violations.
- Objections concerning violations related to road taxes,
- Objections for failure to conduct mandatory periodic technical inspections at authorized centers,
- Declarations related to vehicles that have been placed in an inactive state.
According to the regulatory framework, the platform’s operation is limited to the automated verification of document validity, determining their relevance to the grounds of the objection, and drafting related recommendations to the competent service.
Each recommendation will be accompanied by a proposal for acceptance or rejection of the objection, a reliability indicator on a numerical scale, and detailed justification in natural language, with reference to the documents taken into account during case processing.
However, it is clarified that the artificial intelligence recommendations have exclusively advisory character. The final decision continues to belong to the competent authority, which is neither bound by the platform’s result nor required to justify any different judgment.
Personal data protection
The platform’s operation will be governed by the European and national regulatory framework for artificial intelligence and personal data protection, including the new European AI Regulation and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Data processing controllers are:
- The Ministries of National Economy and Finance, Infrastructure and Transport, and Citizen Protection
- The General Secretariat for Information Systems and Digital Governance, for the purpose of identifying vehicles and owners or holders between registries, informing owners or holders, and operating the specialized electronic application
- The Directorates of Transport and Communications of the Regions
- The AADE
Data processing will be limited exclusively to the purpose of assisting in the examination of objections, while the use of data for creating citizen profiles, extracting behavioral indicators, or social evaluation of individuals is explicitly prohibited.
