Indexes and readiness criteria for Al in the public sector might show some limitations in understanding each national case’s different reales and the complexity of Al implementation in the public sector. They put a set of criteria at their disposal with a ‘non- negotiable” idea, but they are listed without context and history. Moreover, they do not take account of the notion of process and evolution. This notion is crucial to LMIC because of the need to catch up in the implementation of digitalization and digital transformation. That is why LMICs, such as Argentina, should be analyzed, not leaving behind elements, characteristics, and particularities that can be crucial to apprehending how digital transformation, including Al adoption, is evolving in the public sector. With this intention, this work reviews different aspects of the Argentinian case, applying a new framework that tries to show more clearly in which context Al in the public sector emerged in Argentina, how this happens, and which variables should play a big part in the Digital Governmental Ecosystem (as we called it). The final intention is to develop a more accurate way to analyze Argentina’s reality (and extend it to other LMICs), one that is more situated and adds value to the experiences in the path traveled so far for Al in the public sector.
