Milei Wants Argentina to Be the First Home for AI-Run Firms
President Javier Milei has sent a draft bill to Congress to create a new legal category for companies run by artificial intelligence, replacing the 1972 corporate law. The proposal still mandates a human administrator and holds the company liable for any AI-caused damage, while promoting Argentina as a low‑tax, lightly regulated hub for AI firms. Critics, including historian Yuval Noah Harari and Microsoft AI chief Mustafa Suleyman, warn the model could erode human accountability and invite regulatory arbitrage.
- ▪The bill, introduced on May 29, seeks to establish an ‘automated company’ that can operate through AI agents without requiring human shareholders.
- ▪The draft law requires a human administrator to oversee the AI‑run firm and makes the company liable for any damages caused by its AI.
- ▪Milei and deregulation minister Federico Sturzenegger pitch Argentina as a low‑tax, cheap‑energy base for AI startups and data centres.
- ▪Historians and tech leaders have expressed concerns that the approach removes human accountability and could lead to regulatory arbitrage.
- ▪The measure remains a draft in Congress, with no firms or investment commitments currently tied to it.
