Governance

Programa de Inteligencia Artificial

National program to promote AI capacity, research and coordination.

How the laws define this

Both instruments frame a program of artificial intelligence as an internal institutional mechanism rather than an independent regulatory body, established to coordinate strategy, deliver training, and foster structured cooperation. They diverge significantly regarding institutional location and specific regulatory duties. Under Resolución 90/2021, the program operates within the Dirección Nacional de Gestión del Conocimiento to support the Consejo Económico y Social, emphasizing national talent, research, technological autonomy, and launching open calls. In contrast, Resolución PGN 14/25 embeds its program within the Ministerio Público Fiscal under the Procuración General to oversee internal agency processes, specifically mandating technical and ethical standards, procurement protocols, AI lifecycle monitoring, and project proposal evaluations. While the former focuses on broad developmental and research coordination, the latter centers on internal governance, oversight, and procurement within a fiscal ministry.

An internal, transversal institutional structure within the Ministerio Público Fiscal charged with designing AI strategy, issuing technical and ethical standards, evaluating project proposals, implementing monitoring and training, and coordinating inter‑secretariat and external cooperation. It is not an independent regulator but operates under the authority of the Procuración General to manage AI lifecycle, procurement protocols, and oversight within the MPF.
