The Context
No major economy allows corporations fully owned and operated by AI—yet. Milei’s proposal positions Argentina as the first jurisdiction to permit machine entities with legal standing, a move that could attract offshore capital fleeing stricter regimes or trigger sanctions if guardrails fail.
