Government allocates 180 million for AI projects in companies and defends control of data centers

The Spanish government has allocated 180 million euros to support AI projects across various sectors, including digital assistants, advanced robotics, cybersecurity, and healthcare. The funding targets 372 companies, mostly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), aiming to integrate AI into Spain’s productive economy. Up to 50 million euros will go toward 72 health-related initiatives covering clinical research, diagnostics, treatment, and emergency responses. Officials claim Spain is adopting AI technology faster than countries like France and Italy and emphasize the importance of securing a leading role in European AI 'gigafactories.' These facilities aim to centralize data centers and top researchers to develop advanced AI models. The government highlights that while large corporations like Telefónica, Banco Santander, and ACS lead the initiative, benefits will extend to SMEs through access to supercomputing resources funded by the European Commission.
