Juan Grabois Meets Peter Thiel in Argentina to Discuss AI Regulation and Universal Income
Juan Grabois, a national deputy and social leader in Argentina, disclosed that he met privately with billionaire technology entrepreneur Peter Thiel at Thiel’s mansion in the Barrio Parque district of Buenos Aires on 3 June. The meeting, held at the 1,600‑square‑metre residence where Thiel has lived since April, focused on the regulation of artificial intelligence, the concept of universal basic income, and Argentina’s role in the global arena. Grabois said Thiel rejected any state intervention in AI, arguing that regulation would delay humanity’s progress toward transhumanism, yet he described universal basic income as an interesting idea to explore.
Thiel’s visit to Argentina has also included discussions with President Javier Milei and other officials, underscoring his growing engagement with the country’s political and business circles. The conversation touched on the recent encyclical of Pope Leo XIV, which criticises contemporary technological paradigms, adding a religious‑cultural dimension to the debate.
