AI adoption and regulation in Argentina & Paraguay

Overview

In Paraguay and Argentina, the labor market is experiencing a growing demand for artificial intelligence (AI) competencies. In Paraguay, 92.4% of companies view staff training as necessary. In Argentina, a proficiency gap exists in SMEs, where 54% consider AI mastery essential but only 11% provide formal training. Recent research in Entre Ríos by the National University of Entre Ríos (UNER) indicates that 23% of urban workers—approximately 121,000 people—hold occupations exposed to Generative AI. Within the private salaried sector, exposure rises to 29%, primarily affecting financial services, commerce, and public administration. The study notes that exposure does not necessarily mean job replacement, but depends on the capacity to utilize technological surpluses. Legislative and administrative developments are accelerating. The Milei administration is promoting reforms to the General Corporations Law to introduce ‘Automated Societies’ and ‘Decentralized Autonomous Operating Organizations’ (DAOs). In Buenos Aires province, Deputy Viviana Romano has introduced a bill requiring all commercial or digital advertisements created or modified with AI to include a visible warning—occupying at least 3% of the surface—to protect consumer rights. In Bariloche, Ordinance 3612 established a Municipal Innovation Program to promote the ethical and transparent use of AI in public management. Provincial governments continue deploying AI for services. Tucumán uses ‘ALI’ for legal navigation, Catamarca provides AI training for entrepreneurs, Río Negro utilizes ‘Río Bot 2.0’ for healthcare, and Neuquén’s ‘Capi’ handles 87% of municipal inquiries. Additionally, training programs in Chaco have reached thousands of professionals in AI literacy. Efforts to integrate AI are expanding into professional training and policy discussions. In Chaco, programs for public officials focus on generative AI for administrative efficiency, while La Rioja is training teachers in ethical AI use. In Tucumán, the Instituto de Desarrollo Productivo (IDEP) is coordinating strategies to transfer technological capabilities to local companies.
