Córdoba: Peronism uses video to justify a communist digital control law

Justicialist legislators have revived two Castroist bills to regulate Artificial Intelligence

The Legislature of Córdoba is preparing to debate two bills that seek to regulate the use of Artificial Intelligence. The trigger: a digitally manipulated video that replicated the governor's voice, created by an opposition lawmaker. Although the initiatives had been dormant in committee since 2024, the ruling party found in this controversy the ideal context to relaunch them, not without first harshly criticizing the author of the publication. The first of the bills was introduced by the ruling party legislator Leonardo Limia. This happened after a case went viral in which images of female students from a Córdoba school were used to simulate nudity. The proposal, supported by his colleague Marcelo Eslava, calls for the creation of a Provincial Council of Artificial Intelligence. In other words, more useless bureaucracy now tasked with collaborating with the enforcement authority and disseminating regulations on the subject. "The most important aspect of the bill is the protection of people's rights, both image and data," Limia explained. He added: "That's why we're proposing to create a registry of Artificial Intelligence systems. It's also about working on education for proper use at the primary, secondary, and university levels."

A digital scandal, a political pretext

Limia lashed out at the Radical lawmaker Until just a few days ago, the initiatives to regulate AI were not part of any relevant legislative agenda.the opposition also put forward a third proposal, although it has not yet reached parliamentary status.

The speed with which local Peronism reacted to a video is directly proportional to the slowness with which it ignores Córdoba's real problemsit never occurs to them to regulate the use of taxes to finance covert campaigns, embellished narratives, and rented portals.Córdoba
