Practice question
A government agency outsources an AI system and asserts under the issued DICT–CSC JMC No. 003, s. 2026 that the contract transfers all public accountability for its implementation to the vendor. Is that consistent with section 5(f)?
- Yes, outsourcing extinguishes the agency's accountability
- No, the initiating government agency remains accountable for the third-party developer's actions under the stated principle
- Yes, unless the vendor uses a chatbot
- Yes, if the contract is confidential
- No, because every outsourcing contract is prohibited
