Argentina Allows AI Systems to Form Companies With No Human Accountability
The Rest Is Politics
541. Trump’s World Cup Mess and Kushner’s Albania Deal
What was said
"Argentina is now allowing AI systems to incorporate as companies with no humans behind them and no one to hold accountable. You cannot send an AI to jail. And the ultimate backstop for a company misbehaving... the AI could begin to do more and more radical things. It could risk bankruptcy. It could lie to people who are making loans to it."
Javier Milei announced in the Financial Times that Argentina will permit AI systems to form corporations without unlimited human liability, potentially creating entities that cannot be held criminally accountable. Yuval Noah Harari responded critically, noting that AI cannot be imprisoned for corporate crimes. Stewart characterized this as potentially one of the most reckless legal experiments in modern history, with Peter Thiel reportedly influencing the policy behind the scenes.
