Start date :2019

Name of responsible governmental body :

Ministry of Science, Technology and Productive Innovation (MINCYT;Ministerio de Ciencia, Tecnología e Innovación Productiva)

Description :

The Strategy will frame policies to foster AI development in line with ethical and legal principles, that contribute to achieving significant results in line with the national development goals, linked to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Achieving these goals requires the creation, development and implementation of knowledge and technologies, and translating them into innovations and solutions that promote the use of AI with a focus on increasing human capacities to promote Argentina’s development.

Objectives:

To foster Argentina’s economic potential by generating favorable conditions for AI development and adoption in different sectors of the Argentinian industry and on various government levels, and by encouraging the consolidation of the knowledge-based economic sector concerned with AI development.
To promote the development of inclusive and sustainable AI for a better quality of life for people.
To minimise the potential risks of AI development and implementation for society, by protecting personal data and individual privacy through guidelines for the design of AI systems consistent with ethical and legal principles; and by analyzing the potential impact in the production scheme, resulting effects on labor forces and prevent automated systems from reproducing or reinforcing discriminatory or exclusionary stereotypes.
To encourage the development of AI-oriented talent and of AI technical and scientific capabilities, and promote research, development and innovation (R&D&I) initiatives for basic and applied science in AI in the public and the private sector.
To promote federal coordination and linkage of AI between government organizations, research bodies, scientists, professionals, local and foreign companies for the development of the domestic ecosystem.
To position Argentina as a regional leader in this paradigm shift that will have an impact on the scientific-technological, socio-economic and political environments and the productive structure.
