IA generativa (IAG)
A subfield of AI enabling systems to create new content (text, images, etc.) from natural language instructions.
How the laws define this
Both instruments agree that generative artificial intelligence centers on technology capable of generating text and other content. They diverge significantly in their scope, mechanism details, and illustrative examples. The Protocolo para el Uso Responsable de Inteligencia Artificial Generativa en el Poder Judicial de Santa Fe defines the concept as a subfield of artificial intelligence driven by natural language user instructions, explicitly detailing output types like images, sounds, video, and computer code. In contrast, the Protocolo de Uso Aceptable de la IA Generativa (IAGen) focuses on large language models and analogous tools, adopting a broad approach to maintain adaptability for future technological advances. Additionally, the Protocolo de Uso Aceptable de la IA Generativa (IAGen) explicitly names specific programs such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, and Claude alongside future tools, whereas the Santa Fe protocol avoids naming specific software products entirely.

How jurisdictions differ
What is distinctive in each definition, binding law in force first.
| Jurisdiction | Instrument | Status | What is distinctive |
|---|---|---|---|
| San Juan, Argentina | San Juan AI Judicial Protocol | In Force | Explicitly lists examples like ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, and Claude, and uses a broad definition to ensure adaptability to future tools. |
| Argentina | Protocol for the Responsible Use of Generative Artificial Intelligence in the Judicial Power of Santa Fe | In Force | Expands content formats to include sounds, video, and computer code beyond just text and images. |
What it triggers
- In the San Juan AI Judicial Protocol, it mandates human oversight and transparency for AI tools used by judges and judicial staff.source
- The Protocol for the Responsible Use of Generative Artificial Intelligence in the Judicial Power of Santa Fe sets out guidelines for the responsible and ethical use of generative AI, ensuring human oversight and protecting fundamental rights.source
Definitions (2)
A subfield of artificial intelligence that enables systems to create new content in various formats—including text, images, sounds, video, and computer code—based on a natural language instruction provided by the user.
La IAGen se define como inteligencia artificial generativa, que abarca modelos de lenguaje extensos y herramientas análogas capaces de generar texto u otros contenidos, incluyendo explícitamente programas como ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, Claude y cualquier otra herramienta que pueda surgir en el futuro; la definición es amplia para mantener adaptabilidad frente a avances tecnológicos.
Not to be confused with
Generative artificial intelligence focuses on producing synthetic content that emulates training data, while IA generativa emphasizes creation from natural language instructions.
Generative AI tools are specified as internet-accessible systems producing content from user prompts, whereas IA generativa covers the broader subfield of AI.
Generative Artificial Intelligence System refers to specific systems like foundation models producing digital content, while IA generativa is the subfield enabling such creation.
Questions and answers
What AI tools are covered by the San Juan definition?
It explicitly includes programs like ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, Claude, and any future tools. The definition is intentionally broad for technological adaptability.
Does the Santa Fe protocol create legal obligations?
No, it is a guideline that is not binding. It provides recommendations for responsible and ethical use with human oversight.
How do these definitions handle future AI developments?
The San Juan definition is explicitly broad to adapt to future tools. The Santa Fe definition covers various formats but does not mention future adaptability.
