President Javier Milei has defended his proposal to grant legal recognition to companies managed by artificial intelligence (AI) after Israeli historian and philosopher Yuval Noah Harari warned that such entities could pose unprecedented challenges for accountability and regulation.
In a lengthy response published on Thursday on social media, the Argentine president rejected those concerns, arguing that creating a legal framework for what he calls “non-human corporations” would make them easier — not harder — to regulate.
“Giving legal personhood to AI agents does not mean launching the Judgment Day of Terminator,” Milei wrote, dismissing fears that autonomous systems could escape human oversight.

The debate began earlier this month when Milei used an opinion article in the British outlet Financial Times to defend a proposal aimed at adapting Argentina’s corporate laws to a future in which AI systems can manage companies with little or no direct human intervention.
