Summary
The Cámara de España, through its Digitalisation Commission, has published a guide entitled "GuIA para pymes" to help small and medium-sized businesses integrate artificial intelligence into their business processes. According to the document, 45.3% of Spanish companies do not use AI and do not plan to do so in the short term, compared with 54.7% that are exploring or already using it, of which only 5.3% do so extensively or strategically. The guide offers a 30-day roadmap to identify processes to improve, test a pilot project and measure its impact. It details industry examples (professional services, retail, manufacturing, construction) and identifies obstacles (lack of training, uncertainty over return on investment, data quality) as well as the risks of poorly managed adoption, recalling the framework of the EU AI Act.
