The Argentine government announced the launch of a new program called social digital twin, which aims to create simulations of potential social scenarios with artificial intelligence using citizens’ data. The goal is to improve public policies.

The announcement, made last week, was met with criticism from sectors that warned about how the use of personal information could breach privacy. However, the human capital ministry, in charge of the program, said all data will be anonymous and will only be used for creating “evidence-based policies.”

In addition, some critics linked the announcement to the visit of PayPal co-founder and far-right supporter Peter Thiel, who met with President Javier Milei in late April and has been staying in the country ever since.
