Spanish PM Sanchez says AI industry cannot be self-regulated
Pedro Sánchez said the 12-month plan will strengthen cybersecurity, expand AI governance and support a new social contract around the technology.
- On Monday, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez announced the "IA360 Plan" to regulate artificial intelligence, establishing a 12-month roadmap for responsible deployment and a "new social contract" around the technology.
- Criticizing "techno-oligarchs" who claim regulation hinders innovation, Sánchez warned that concentrated, unregulated AI creates "the perfect cocktail for a tragedy to occur" rather than shared prosperity.
- The 12-month roadmap includes a proposed AI gigafactory and educational reforms, while nearly 50% of Spain's working-age population already uses generative artificial intelligence, driving urgency for the plan.
- Next month, the government will convene employers and unions to seek a national agreement, with First Vice President Carlos Cuerpo stating AI development must have "owners and not just recipients."
- Sánchez urged international coordination on artificial intelligence, warning that concentrated power among a few companies could negatively impact democracy and shared prosperity if left unchecked.
