The plan, in one line
Argentina's Minister of Deregulation Federico Sturzenegger announced the regime on April 28, 2026 (at Expo EFI). On June 1, 2026 the Executive sent the Senate the draft bill that replaces Law 19.550. It creates the Sociedad Automatizada (art. 14): a company of any type that pursues its purpose through AI agents, with no employees, and answers with its own assets for damages caused by its systems. It is not “zero humans”: it keeps an administrator (a human or legal person, art. 88) who configures and supervises the AI, and is liable for it (art. 102). It also creates the Sociedad Descentralizada Autónoma Operativa (D.A.O.) (art. 258), governed by smart contracts and tokens, with a mandatory human legal representative (art. 260) and members identifiable on authority request. It pays taxes like any company.
Sturzenegger framed it like this: “If in 10 years 90% of global GDP is produced by AI agents, we want that legal regime to be in Argentina. We could have 50 million inhabitants and 500 million AI agents incorporated here, producing for the world and paying taxes in our country.”
The debate is now global. Milei and Sturzenegger defended the regime in a Financial Times column. Yuval Harari replied in the same paper that AI agents should not get legal personhood, and Mustafa Suleyman (Microsoft AI CEO) backed him. The core critique is accountability: who answers, who owns it, what did the agent do. That is exactly what this infrastructure solves in code: an identified human administrator (RFC-001), KYC'd members, and a signed decision log verifiable offline (RFC-004/006). The answer to the critique is not an argument. It is an audit log.
What an AI corporation will need (in code)
If the proposal moves forward as drafted, an agent-company should complete the full incorporation and operation cycle without human intervention. Here is what each step requires and the current coverage of the ar-agents toolkit:

Why it matters that it's open source
If Argentina's first AI corporation needs to pay a consultancy USD 200k to integrate with the state, the experiment dies. If an ar-agents AI corporation can be deployed in a week with npm + Vercel + an ARCA cert, it scales.
The draft bill is already in the Senate and takes effect 180 days after publication in the Official Gazette (art. 271). The infrastructure ships today. The window to define the technical standard, how a Sociedad Automatizada is operated reliably, is open now, while the text is debated.

Tiempo total: ~12 segundos (12 llamadas a tools, 9 packages ar-agents de los 16 disponibles).And it's not just a simulated demo: we incorporated ourselves with this same flow, and the audit log is signed and verifiable.
Incorporation wizard + deployable demo
The live wizard at /incorporar generates a Next.js repo config with the 16 pieces wired up, runs IGJ pre-flight live (same rules as the validate_igj_inscription tool), and emits a bundle ready to deploy on Vercel. Prefer to start from the template? The code lives in apps/sociedad-ia-starter. The wizard and the 36 packages are free. The hosted trust layer, the signed audit log art. 102 calls for, is The Auditor.
Technical documents for legislators
If you're drafting the bill, or advising someone who is, these documents are ready to cite by reference, no rewriting concepts from scratch:
- /en/legislation: Synthesis of the 6 RFCs on a single page, with suggested text for the articulado.
- RFC-001: Three-layer civil liability framework (operator / AI corporation / model provider).
- RFC-002: Automatic discovery via
/.well-known/agents.json. - RFC-003: Portable envelope for cross-jurisdictional reciprocity (Wyoming DAO, MIDAO, Estonia OÜ). Full comparison table with jurisdictions at /en/jurisdictions.
- RFC-004: Normative specification of the operational log. This is the key document for enforcement.
- /test-vectors: 7 RFC-004 conformance vectors with deterministic hex values. Any library runs the vectors; pass or fail.
- /auditor: 1-page document for a regulator / journalist / inspector arriving cold to the site.
- /registro: Public registry of implementations (1 reference impl + 4 demos today).
- /certifier: Paste any URL, get a 0-100 RFC-002 + RFC-004 conformance score in seconds. No install.
- /en/legislation: English version of the synthesis for international press + comparative law scholars.

Honest limitations
The draft bill already has text (arts. 14, 102, 258-265) and was sent to the Senate on June 1, 2026, but it is not law yet: it could change in Congress, be delayed, or not pass. The ar-agents toolkit works either way: today it covers Argentine state integration for human-run companies. If the regime passes, it's also ready for that case.
There is no relationship between ar-agents and members of the government. This is civil, commercial, open infrastructure, written from outside and for anyone to use.
