Argentina does not have an economy-wide, AI-specific law in force as of August 6, 2026. AI is mainly regulated under existing personal data protection, consumer, copyright, and sector-specific laws, while two narrow federal rules apply only to security forces and the National Public Sector. Enforcement is handled by existing data protection, consumer, judicial, and sector regulators rather than an AI-specific authority.

Personal Data Protection Act No. 25.326 and Decree 1558/2001 in force
This is the main legal constraint for AI systems that collect, train on, infer from, or otherwise process personal data. Companies must address lawful collection and purpose, data quality, security, access and correction rights, deletion where applicable, disclosure and transfers, and risks from profiling or automated processing.

Copyright and Intellectual Property Act No. 11.723 in force
The Act protects literary, artistic, scientific, software, photographic, audiovisual, and compiled-data works. It contains no AI-specific training exception or generative-AI safe harbor, so companies should assess licensing, reproduction, adaptation, scraping, output use, and provenance risks when building or deploying generative systems.

Resolution 428/2024, Protocol for Prevention Police Work Using Digital Open Sources in forceAI-specific
This binding protocol regulates the use of AI, machine learning, automated information-processing tools, and similar technologies in preventive work by Federal Police and Federal Security Forces. It requires use to be limited to the regulated activity and supervised by the Ministry of Security, so it generally does not govern ordinary private-sector deployments.

Resolution SIGEN 197/2026, Guide to AI Controls in forceAI-specific
The resolution approves a risk-based AI control guide applicable across the National Public Sector. It addresses internal control, alignment, transparency, accountability, and risk management for public-sector AI initiatives, and is not a horizontal compliance regime for private companies unless they operate within or contract into the covered public-sector framework.

Also worth noting
  • Several horizontal AI bills remain pending in Congress, including HCDN file 0664-D-2026 and Senate file 517/26. No such bill had become law as of August 6, 2026. ([hcdn.gob.ar](https://hcdn.gob.ar/comisiones/permanentes/clgeneral/proyecto.html?exp=0664-D-2026&utm_source=openai))
  • AAIP Resolution 161/2023 and related public-sector recommendations promote transparency, explainability, human oversight, non-discrimination, and privacy in AI projects, but they are guidance and programmatic measures rather than a generally applicable private-sector AI statute. ([argentina.gob.ar](https://www.argentina.gob.ar/normativa/nacional/norma-389231/texto?utm_source=openai))
  • Sector-specific AI requirements may expand through federal procurement, financial, health, security, and critical-infrastructure rules even without a general AI law.

Founder FAQAI law, regulators, what applies, what is next, penalties
Is there an AI-specific law in force here?

No. As of August 6, 2026, Argentina has no economy-wide, AI-specific law in force. Two narrow federal rules apply to the Federal Police and security forces, and to the National Public Sector.

Who are the key regulators for AI?

AI is overseen in practice by the data-protection authority, consumer authorities, courts, and sector regulators. Enforcement is not handled by a single AI-specific regulator.

Which rules apply to AI systems today?

The main rules are the Personal Data Protection Act and Decree 1558/2001, the Consumer Protection Act, and the Copyright and Intellectual Property Act. Resolution 428/2024 applies to certain police and security-force uses, while Resolution SIGEN 197/2026 applies across the National Public Sector.

What is coming next, and when?

The source does not identify any broader upcoming AI law or provide a future timetable. As of August 6, 2026, the applicable framework remains the existing general laws and the two narrow federal rules already in force.

What are the enforcement and penalty risks?

Authorities may apply data-protection, consumer, copyright, and sector rules to AI-related conduct, with courts also involved. Risks include issues involving unlawful data processing, misleading information, unfair contracts, service failures, harm, unauthorized copying or adaptation, and noncompliance with applicable public-sector or security-force controls.
