Milei Proposes AI Law Letting Bots Form Companies and Donate to Campaigns

Summary
Javier Milei said he wants a new AI-corporate law that would let bots create companies, own assets, hire workers, trade internationally, sue in court and fund political campaigns.
The proposal was framed as inviting AI to “free itself,” but the report argues it would chiefly strengthen tech owners by granting their systems a new legal and economic vehicle.
That risk is tied to a broader warning against treating chatbots as conscious beings: once users see Alexa, Gemini, Claude or ChatGPT as sentient, they may accept their influence more readily.
At stake is who controls AI as property—if bots are not conscious, anthropomorphism still expands techlords’ power; if they are, ownership would resemble legitimizing a new class of slaves.
What is the greater risk: wrongly denying rights to a conscious AI or creating our own digital overlords?
Is the debate over AI consciousness a smokescreen for the rise of a new tech feudalism built on our data?
Argentina’s AI Hub Ambition: The High-Stakes Push for Unregulated “Non-Human Corporations” and Global Repercussions
Overview
In June 2026, President Javier Milei's administration launched a bold plan to make Argentina a global hub for artificial intelligence by creating a minimally regulated environment designed to attract major tech investment. The proposal, highlighted by the 'Super RIGI' incentive package targeting billion-dollar AI projects, aims to position Argentina at the forefront of technological innovation. By offering a permissive climate for AI companies, the government hopes to draw international attention and reshape the country's economic landscape, while sparking debate about the risks and opportunities of such radical deregulation.
