Spain's PM advocates for AI regulation

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez announced that the regulation of artificial intelligence cannot be exclusively controlled by the companies that develop it. He called for establishing accountability guidelines to ensure the responsible development and use of AI technology. These remarks are part of Spain's "AI 360" government plan, which spans 12 months and aims to promote safe utilization of AI, develop local capabilities, and establish a large-scale AI manufacturing facility in collaboration with the Barcelona Supercomputing Center. The plan also focuses on data protection, enhancing cybersecurity, and regulating data centers according to environmental standards, emphasizing that AI governance should include the data and resources used, not just the algorithms. These measures are complemented by laws and regulations aligned with European law, including human oversight of AI systems and bans on certain applications such as deepfake systems with sexual content. Spain’s efforts aim to balance regulating and fostering technology in a manner aligned with global risks, while maintaining national control over data and technological growth.
