Personal Data Protection

Principles and measures aligned with Law No. 25.326.

How the laws define this

Both instruments agree that personal data protection when using or developing artificial intelligence must align with existing Argentine legal frameworks, specifically Law No. 25.326. They diverge, however, in the specific measures and operational scope they mandate. Under Resolución 161/2023 – Programa de Transparencia y Protección de Datos Personales en el uso de la Inteligencia Artificial (Agencia de Acceso a la Información Pública), protection is defined broadly as a system of principles, safeguards, and organizational or technical measures, which includes privacy-by-design, privacy impact assessment tools, and procedures to prevent misuse or unlawful processing in automated systems. By contrast, Resolución de Presidencia N° 206/2025 - Anexo I “Guía de Recomendaciones y Directrices para el Uso de Sistemas de Inteligencia Artificial (IA) en el Poder Judicial de la Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires” focuses on direct compliance requirements within its judicial context, explicitly requiring the anonymization of sensitive information to ensure protection.
