## Summary

The Cámara de España has published a guide entitled « Cómo puede hacer crecer tu negocio la inteligencia artificial », aimed at small businesses and micro-businesses. It sets out a 30-day roadmap to identify tasks to improve, test an AI solution on one or two processes and measure the results before extending its use. According to the guide's data, 45.3% of Spanish SMEs do not use AI and do not plan to do so in the short term, often because of a lack of awareness, while 54.7% of companies are already exploring or using AI to some extent, of which only 5.3% have integrated it broadly or strategically. The document cites possible applications in retail, professional services, industry and construction, and identifies a lack of training, uncertainty about return on investment and data quality as the main obstacles.
