See how this story connects

Source: La Moncloa

Spain’s Council of Ministers approved the Organic Law bill for the good use and governance of artificial intelligence and sent it to the Cortes. It implements the EU AI Act in Spain, with AESIA in A Coruña as the central authority, and sector supervisors such as the Bank of Spain, the data protection agency and the judiciary’s council, a sanctions regime, AI officers in public administration, and rules for regulatory sandboxes.

Why it matters

Companies selling AI in Spain will answer to AESIA and sector supervisors such as the Bank of Spain once the bill passes, under a sanctions regime set in Spanish law.
