AI regulatory and ethical framework

Spain has the dual objective of taking advantage of the many opportunities of artificial intelligence, while at the same time addressing its challenges. This implies establishing the right conditions for the promotion and deployment of artificial intelligence, as well as designing a regulatory governance framework that ensures an ethical and humanistic use of this technology.

To ensure the governance of artificial intelligence, initiatives must be taken to delimit and guide the design of artificial intelligence, so that the resulting applications respect the rights of citizens.

This measure articulates a series of actions that will reinforce Spain's objective of moving towards a reliable, explainable, transparent and inclusive artificial intelligence, whose implementation respects the fundamental rights of citizens:

  • Regulatory sandbox for the implementation of the future European AI Regulation
  • National Artificial Intelligence Supervisory Agency.
  • AI research and awareness-raising: Plan for the Protection of Vulnerable Groups in artificial intelligence and Plan for awareness and trust in artificial intelligence.
  • Observatory on the social and ethical impact of algorithms (OBISAL).
  • Trustworthy AI seal.

In addition to these actions, Spain will continue to actively participate in European talks to develop specific legislation on artificial intelligence in the European Union, defining a regulatory framework that guarantees the protection of fundamental rights while boosting innovation and taking advantage of the scale of the internal market. This regulatory framework will enable Member States to gain global competitiveness, as well as supporting European digital sovereignty.
