National AI Strategy 2024

The National AI Strategy 2024 of Spain outlines a comprehensive framework to enhance the development and deployment of artificial intelligence (AI) across various sectors. The strategy emphasizes investment in supercomputing, sustainable data storage, and the creation of foundational language models, particularly in Spanish and co-official languages. Key priorities include fostering AI talent, promoting ethical and responsible AI practices, and enhancing collaboration between public and private sectors, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The establishment of the Spanish Agency for AI Supervision (AESIA) is crucial for ensuring transparency and ethical standards in AI development. The strategy aims to maximize social and economic benefits while addressing challenges related to human rights and technological security. The time horizon for implementation is not explicitly stated, but the strategy reflects an urgent response to the rapid evolution of AI technologies.
