Argentina's Milei proposes law giving AI‑run firms legal personhood

President Javier Milei introduced a draft law, dubbed the “Super RIGI”, that would grant legal personality to companies operated entirely by artificial‑intelligence systems. The bill would create a new corporate category – “non‑human corporations” – governed by code, exempt from many taxes and import duties, and allowed to receive lifetime fiscal incentives. Human investors could provide capital, but the law would require no mandatory human shareholders or directors. Milei framed the proposal as a reversal of the regulatory direction taken by the EU and the United States, arguing that “the technological machine and the legal entity were together the double helix of modern prosperity.” Published in the Financial Times, the plan targets strategic sectors such as AI, semiconductor manufacturing and biotechnology, seeking to attract venture capital and position Argentina as a haven for tech deregulation.
