In 2023, Argentina celebrates a significant milestone: 40 years since the return to democracy, signaling the longest democratic period in the country’s history. This journey has been marked by moments of joy and adversity, crises, and conflicts that, fortunately, Argentina has been able to overcome all its difficulties within the framework of democratic rules. Despite this, sometimes political polarization has intensified our differences, overshadowing the common values and achievements that define us as Argentine citizens. These shared values are numerous and have shone through in crucial events of our recent history, such as in the return of democracy in 1983, or during the challenges that were overcome after the 2001 crisis, where the Argentine Dialogue was key. Or when we celebrated the winning of another World Cup, we demonstrated the ability to stick together, supporting a common cause beyond our political positions.

To better understand these commonalities and consensuses and generate input aimed at promoting democratic dialogue, as part of the “AI: Argentine Intelligence” project, we used artificial intelligence tools to analyze all the speeches by Argentine presidents and to get the DNA of our country’s public speech. This speech comprises ideas that are reiterated, as a desire that is continually renewed, because “public” means known and shared. The analysis focused on the recurring topics, the hierarchy of their priorities, and their related concepts. In an era marked by division, this project seeks to discover and celebrate what we share.
