## Summary

Pedro Sánchez has presented Plan IA360, a one-year government roadmap to accelerate AI adoption by Spanish businesses. It includes a Bono Inteligencia Artificial worth 600 million euros to fund AI services (development, integration, data processing) in pymes and among autónomos, with conditions on employee training and impact measurement. The aim is to transform 25,000 companies and increase private investment in AI fivefold by 2030, raising the adoption rate from 21.1% to 55%. The plan also provides for a Red Neurona of demonstration centres, a 5 billion euro AI gigafactoría, regulation of data centres and a cybersecurity shield.
