Argentina's Javier Milei Pushes to Legalize AI-Run "Non-Human Corporations" With Zero Regulation

Argentina is making a stunning legal bet on artificial intelligence. President Javier Milei published an op-ed in the Financial Times pitching Argentina as a haven for tech giants, vowing to let AI develop freely "without the deadly hand of premature and poorly understood regulation." The three pillars of his framework are a commitment to keep AI unregulated, the creation of "a new corporate category in Argentine law: the non-human corporation," and a low corporate tax rate. If approved, the initiative would grant legal status to "non-human companies" managed exclusively by AI, and would also create the legal entity of decentralized organizations. Legal experts say this would make Argentina the first in the world with such legislation, enabling AI agents to execute operations, enter into contracts, and move funds independently — with their own legal entity and limited liability, without requiring a human behind them. Argentina's Congress is weighing the world's first law for non-human corporations, as Peter Thiel relocates to Buenos Aires while Milei courts AI firms with radical deregulation. Politicians and tech experts have expressed concern over the implications, warning of AI entities operating with no regulations and low taxes. Critics argue it would create "programmed impunity: human gains, social harm and responsibility shifted onto machines."
