Overview

  • Political leadership in Argentina remains largely disengaged from AI policymaking, leaving a governance framework undeveloped.
  • Only 14% of Argentine SMEs had integrated any form of AI into production processes by 2023, highlighting a deep implementation gap.
  • A study by S&P Global finds that 42% of generative AI pilot projects are abandoned, reflecting growing frustration among businesses.
  • The Panel Internacional sobre el Entorno Informativo recorded 215 cases of AI-driven election manipulation in 2024, with harmful deepfakes accounting for 69% of incidents.
  • Experts urge the creation of a dedicated national AI agency, coupled with redistribution policies and ethical standards to safeguard democratic integrity and equitable growth.
