Summary
The Spanish government has announced a €600 million Bono IA to facilitate the adoption of artificial intelligence by 25,000 SMEs, as part of the IA360 plan. Unlike the Kit Digital, which focused on software licences, this scheme would aim to fund the implementation, integration and validation of AI systems. Pedro Rico, founder of Fandit, highlights this difference but warns that details on amounts, criteria and eligible types of expenditure are currently lacking. He also fears that intermediaries may disguise licence resale as implementation, as happened with the Kit Digital. The article stresses the importance of the scheme targeting small businesses, which are less well equipped than large ones, and recommends that SMEs clearly define their needs before applying for the aid.
