AI, Argentina and the Antichrist: Thiel's Vision Blooms [View all]
Javier Milei, the president of Argentina, has shed light on billionaire Peter Thiels reason for suddenly planting roots in his country.
In a Financial Times op-ed, Milei announced plans to make Argentina the worlds top destination for tech billionaires seeking to escape regulation, legal liability, and taxes. Mileis op-ed trumpeted new legislation that would do three things:
1. Keep AI unregulated, providing a haven for companies wishing to develop the technology without guardrails or government rules.
2. Create a new business category for what Milei called the non-human corporation. These would be companies supposedly operated by AI agents or robots that could exercise independent judgment in unpredictable environments. These non-human companies would receive major protections in the form of limited liability for whatever decisions they might allegedly make on their own, without human intervention.
