Argentina’s Milei dreams of data centres on the Patagonian steppe

Argentina’s libertarian politician, Milei, has ambitious plans to develop data centers in the Patagonian steppe, leveraging the region’s vast land and energy resources. His vision centers on creating an "unregulated" hub for artificial intelligence, aiming to attract global tech companies. This move could reshape Argentina's tech landscape and economic strategy, emphasizing self-sufficiency and innovation. While the proposal is ambitious, it raises questions about regulatory frameworks and environmental impacts in one of the world’s most biodiverse regions.
