Summary
Law 25,326 requires informed consent, database registration, security and safeguards for international transfers. AAIP Resolution 4/2019 requires explaining the logic of a solely automated decision when it harms someone, and Resolution 126/2024 updated sanctions. The AAIP responsible AI guide recommends impact assessments, bias testing, traceability, a data protection officer and a complaints channel. There are bills to replace the data law and to regulate AI, with no committee report.
