Ley 25.326 — Protección de los Datos Personales (Habeas Data), Boletín Oficial 29517, 2 de noviembre de 2000 — **Status: No AI-specific statute — data protection governs, in force since 2000**

Argentina has no artificial-intelligence act. What binds an AI deployer is Ley 25.326 on the Protección de los Datos Personales — the habeas data statute — sanctioned on 4 October 2000 and published in Boletín Oficial No. 29517 on 2 November 2000. It governs the personal data an AI system is trained on and processes, and it is the instrument through which an Argentine privacy matter would be brought. ⚠️ Two limits on this entry, stated plainly. First, it is deliberately narrow: InfoLeg addresses instruments by internal id and the argentina.gob.ar search is captcha-gated, so each law has to be identified by hand and this card claims only that the law named above exists and is cited correctly — not that it enumerates Argentine law. Second, and more important for anyone building on this: argentina.gob.ar exposes what looks like a number-addressed permalink, /normativa/nacional/ley-<numero>, which answers HTTP 200 for every law number and serves the WRONG DOCUMENT — the address for Ley 25.326 returns an unrelated 1992 tourism resolution. The citation above goes to InfoLeg by record id, and the ingest re-reads the law number off the page and refuses any record whose number does not match.
