The rules, category by category
There is no national rule. Provincial protocols bind their own judiciaries: the Rio Negro generative-AI good-practice protocol of October 2024, Santa Fe Circular 25 of 4 April 2025 for judges and defenders given generative-AI access, and Jujuy Acordada 31/2025 of 11 April 2025 with its protocol and authorisation form.

Santa Fe Circular 25 of April 2025: AI is complementary, decisions remain the exclusive responsibility of judges and AI cannot replace judicial reasoning. The Rio Negro protocol requires human control at every stage. There is no national rule.
The Buenos Aires bar guide of July 2025: do not upload client data to platforms without security guarantees, respect professional secrecy, and obtain client authorisation before sharing personal, sensitive or confidential information.
The Buenos Aires bar guide of July 2025 calls for continuous training and prompt-writing skills, and states that the lawyer remains the ultimate party responsible for the content presented or signed, whether or not it was generated by AI. The ethics code has not been amended.
The Buenos Aires bar guide of July 2025, objective 2: be transparent with clients, explain when AI tools are used and seek authorisation before sharing any personal information; do not create false expectations.
The Buenos Aires bar's Guide for the Use of AI for Lawyers, published in July 2025 by its fintech and legaltech laboratory, sets four pillars: responsible use, permanent human control, data protection and confidentiality, and continuous training, with an explicit warning on hallucinations and non-delegation of decisions.
The access-to-information agency's guide for public and private entities on transparency and personal-data protection for responsible AI covers privacy by design, impact assessment, bias testing, traceability and complaint channels across the AI lifecycle. It is not legal-sector specific.
The Rosario Civil and Commercial Court of Appeals held in August 2025 that delegating research to AI and filing unverified citations is extremely risky and even reckless; a General Roca appeals court found 26 non-existent citations. The Rio Negro acordada of 1 October 2025 makes verification mandatory for lawyers provincially.

No national or provincial court rule requiring parties to disclose AI use in filings found as of 4 September 2026. Rio Negro's October 2025 acordada makes its good-practice protocol mandatory for lawyers but is framed around verification and responsible use, not certification.

No evidence rule or guidance on AI-generated or deepfake material found as of 4 September 2026.
No rule or guidance on supervision of AI-assisted work within firms found as of 4 September 2026.
No rule or opinion on billing for AI-assisted work found as of 4 September 2026. One 2025 court reportedly denied fees for a brief with AI-fabricated citations, but that is a sanction rather than a billing rule.
No ruling or regulation on consumer AI legal products found as of 4 September 2026.
No Argentine arbitral institution AI rules found as of 4 September 2026.
No mandatory AI training found as of 4 September 2026; the Buenos Aires bar offers voluntary courses.
