Detailed overview
Argentina does not currently have a comprehensive AI Act equivalent to the EU AI Act. Its AI framework is based on official recommendations, data-protection guidance, transparency initiatives and existing laws.
Recommendations for Reliable AI
Argentina approved Recommendations for Reliable Artificial Intelligence through Disposition 2/2023. The recommendations are intended to support responsible AI, protect fundamental rights, reduce risks and promote human-centred innovation. They are particularly relevant to public-sector innovation projects using AI.
The recommendations address trustworthy AI principles, including human-centred design, transparency, accountability, privacy, non-discrimination, fairness, security and multidisciplinary governance. They are not a general AI licensing regime and do not create one AI-specific penalty table.
AI transparency programme
Argentina's data-protection authority has also created a programme on transparency and personal-data protection in AI use. The programme focuses on analysis, regulation, guidance and capacity-building for automated decision systems and AI involving personal data in public and private sectors.
Existing-law overlays
Where AI processes personal data, Argentina's data-protection law applies. AI systems may also trigger consumer protection, employment, public-sector, financial, healthcare, intellectual-property or criminal-law obligations depending on the use case.
Penalties
Argentina does not currently have one AI-specific fine table. Penalties arise under the underlying applicable law, especially data protection, consumer protection, employment law, public-sector law, financial regulation, healthcare regulation or criminal law.
