Argentina released guidelines for responsible AI implementation directed at public administration bodies. The guidelines are structured around Argentina’s ArgenIA national AI plan, which organises policy action across talent development, data infrastructure, research and development, and ethics and regulation. The Agency for Access to Public Information (AAIP) has been designated as the likely supervisory authority under proposed legislation. In April 2024, the Ministry of Justice of Buenos Aires launched an AI programme including training on ethics in AI use for judicial staff. The ArgenIA plan does not yet have the legal status of binding legislation.
Who it affects: Public sector bodies and government employees are the primary audience for the guidelines. The judicial AI training programme covers judges and court staff in specific jurisdictions but is not a national mandate.
What is notably missing: Argentina has no enacted AI law as of early 2026. The guidelines are voluntary and do not create enforceable obligations for public bodies or private employers. There is no national requirement for AI literacy or ethics training in the private sector, in schools, or across the civil service. Pending bills, including one specifically regulating AI in education (Expediente 2504-D-2023), have not been passed.
