- The 12-month roadmap includes an AI gigafactory and new models developed with the Barcelona Supercomputing Centre, while adapting Secondary Education and Vocational Training curricula to prepare young people for AI deployment.
- Government officials will negotiate next month with unions and employers, as First Vice President and Minister of Economy, Trade and Business Carlos Cuerpo emphasized that AI must "has owners and not just recipients."
- Sanchez stressed that future regulations must ensure AI expands human understanding rather than displacing judgment, emphasizing the technology should close social and economic gaps instead of widening them.
