Uncertainty over how generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) might impact the labor market is a concern shared by most countries.

Argentina is no exception. In fact, there are grounds for this concern.

According to a recent study by the Economic and Social Council of Buenos Aires City (in Spanish, CESBA), it is the Latin American country with the highest level of occupational exposure to GenAI.

CESBA is a non-governmental public body that drafts legislation, technical reports, and recommendations for the city’s executive and legislative branches.

Based on data from the International Labor Organization (ILO), they found that on a scale of 0 to 1, the country has an exposure level of 0.292.
