Artificial Intelligence Strategy in the Government of the Province of Buenos Aires

Abstract

The Province of Buenos Aires has developed a comprehensive Artificial Intelligence (AI) strategy as part of its 2024–2027 Digital Agenda, aiming to modernize public administration based on the principles of efficiency, transparency, ethics, and digital sovereignty. This policy is led by the Undersecretariat of Digital Government under the Ministry of Government and promotes a coordinated approach involving regulatory development, infrastructure strengthening, training, and institutional cooperation. One of the core pillars of the strategy is the design of a regulatory framework to ensure the responsible use of AI in public administration. In this context, the “Guidelines for the Use of Generative AI” were approved, establishing ethical standards, human oversight, and data protection protocols. In terms of infrastructure, a key initiative is the creation of an AI Technology Node at the Provincial Data Processing Center, which will expand computing capacity and promote technological sovereignty. The strategy also includes the training of public agents through a capacity-building plan developed in collaboration with the Provincial Institute of Public Administration (IPAP), national universities, and private sector companies. In parallel, strong institutional coordination is being promoted across provincial agencies and municipalities, and the province participates in international partnerships such as the DETA Alliance. Overall, this roadmap seeks to build an inclusive, secure, and trustworthy AI ecosystem, focused on citizen-centered services and strengthening public sector capabilities.
