In his first visit to the Scientific Pole, this Monday, Javier Milei assured that he will continue his zero deficit policy next year, deepening the adjustment on the most vulnerable and also cutting state investment in science. “We are not going to use monetary and fiscal policy to try to influence the electoral result,” he stated, at the same time that he has been promoting a reform to privatize elections, eliminating public financing of electoral campaigns.
In his brief speech he stated that they put “a lock on the fiscal balance and swallowed the keys,” reaffirming his objective of adjusting regardless of the social cost. Hours before his presentation, the Government reported that free medicines would no longer be for all retirees and would only be accessible to those with incomes well below the poverty line.
The Scientific Pole was historically the headquarters of the Ministry until its management demoted it to Secretariat, as part of the attacks on the scientific community. The complex is home to Artificial Intelligence Week, an event that will focus on exhibitions by large companies, marking the Government’s orientation in the area.
The president highlighted the development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and asked to explore the new horizons of technology although he noted the risks it presents “in the wrong hands.” “I would not like to imagine a super powerful artificial intelligence in the hands of a communist dictator,” declared Milei, once again showing his alignment with the international right.
He also made a striking reflection: “I owe him a lot given that thanks to the images that my followers created with artificial intelligence, our message of freedom reached more people and thus we won the elections with the most austere campaign in the history of humanity. “We didn’t have a handle, so everything depended on what our followers did on the networks.” Ignoring the fact that he was the candidate with the most minutes on television in recent years and the great business support that he gained during the electoral process.
Demian Reidel, Chief of Staff of the President’s Council of Advisors, was also part of the opening of the conference. The official stated that: “Of the four industrial revolutions that we have experienced so far, all have shared a very important characteristic, which is the panic of the irreversible loss of jobs and a subsequent state of misery. But today no one thinks that computers were a bad thing for anyone. “We must not think that Artificial Intelligence is going to leave us without work.” Although the system has created new jobs, the replacement of those lost has not prevented unemployment from increasing throughout the world and, above all, job insecurity from growing. Despite technological advances, the working day is the same or longer than it was 100 years ago.
Mile closed his speech by stating that artificial intelligence “will bring investments” and announced that “the next race will be” “deregulation.” These words remind us of Mauricio Macri’s promises about the “rain of investments” that never happened and was replaced by unpayable debt with the International Monetary Fund. The “deregulations” can only bring about a worsening of the social crisis and the country’s backwardness through the reprimarization of the economy.
