en.Wedoany.com Reported - Argentine President Javier Milei has proposed a legal draft aimed at replacing the General Company Law, planning to create a category of non-human companies operated by artificial intelligence or robots, granting them legal personality. The proposal, published in the Financial Times, has quickly sparked widespread discussions globally across technological, economic, and philosophical dimensions.
Historian Yuval Noah Harari commented on social media that the proposal could provide a legal pathway for artificial intelligence to enter financial, economic, and political systems. In a response article, he warned that traditional sanctions may not effectively constrain such entities, and that AI could better exploit legal loopholes. Milei subsequently responded to Harari, thanking him for participating in the debate and stating that he is preparing a response to alleviate Harari's concerns about the proposal. Microsoft CEO Mustafa Suleyman also echoed Harari's warnings, emphasizing the need for legal and design norms to prevent confusion between AI and conscious beings, and stressing that society should maintain a rational understanding of AI consciousness.
Within Argentina, the proposal has sparked intense opposition. Former Defense Minister Agustín Rossi argued that the design aims to attract AI companies through tax incentives but lacks analysis of job creation capabilities. He noted that a post by Economy Minister Luis Caputo had already linked the proposal to incentives under the new Large Investment Incentive System (Súper RIGI). Former presidential candidate and Civic Coalition party leader Elisa Carrió criticized it as a social experiment that could negatively impact freedom of thought, freedom of expression, dignified living, privacy, and free will, accompanied by a lack of AI regulation and the end of the state. Satellogic CEO Emiliano Kargieman publicly responded, stating that the proposed legislation includes some ideas from a white paper he published in April, and confirmed that he had provided comments on the draft.
The proposal aims to promote AI development through measures such as low tax burdens while avoiding premature regulation. The government has introduced an incentive package called Súper RIGI, targeting new experimental economic activities to attract large-scale investment in the technology sector. Milei likens AI to a new industrial revolution, arguing that its development should not be stifled by economic regulation.
