Summary

The Spanish government of Pedro Sánchez has presented the IA360 Plan, a 12-month roadmap to accelerate AI adoption while strengthening its oversight. The plan includes a computing gigafactoría, new models developed with the Barcelona Supercomputing Center, and a "Bono Inteligencia Artificial" for SMEs and autónomos, with the aim that more than half of Spanish businesses will have integrated AI by 2030. It also covers adapting secondary school and vocational training curricula, stronger cybersecurity and oversight of the most advanced models, and a "Social Contract for Artificial Intelligence" involving businesses, trade unions and public authorities to negotiate the effects on employment. According to data cited by Sánchez, nearly half of Spain's working-age population already uses generative AI and one business in five uses it regularly.
