“Digital transformation in Spain at its best”. It was so optimistic in November Carmen Artigas, Secretary of State for Digitization and Artificial Intelligence, on the development of the national technology sector. In part, it’s an optimism that stems from the new adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) that will be the engine of economic development in companies across the country for years to come.
between automation to the analysis of industrial processes, large volumes data For managing logistics warehouses or image recognition, artificial intelligence is seen as a very important tool. cloudy and ‘Big Data’ to illuminate the Fourth Industrial Revolution. increased interdependence and digitization The number of factories will allow optimization of the production chain, increasing the efficiency, productivity and competitiveness of multiple economic sectors.
According to a study published last January by the National Observatory of Technology and Society (ONTSI), 8% of Spanish companies use artificial intelligence systems for their production, marketing and sales processes. Then annual growth was only 1%. This figure is still far from our strategy. State, Spain Digital 2025 finds that by then 25% of companies are using these technologies. The European Commission goes further and sets it at 75% by 2030.
accelerated deployment
2022 gives positive data. According to the Global Artificial Intelligence Adoption Index 2022 research by IBM, up to 31% of Spanish companies have adopted algorithms in the enterprise space to reduce costs and automate production processes. the deployment of artificial intelligence.” However, data released by the National Institute of Statistics (INE) in October reduced this figure to 12.6%.
According to advanced analytics firm Iberinform, 185 Spanish companies currently provide AI solutions, 16% more than last year. Madrid Leading this space by concentrating 67% of AI companies and Catalonia It ranks second with 16%. According to ACCIÓ data presented this Wednesday by Roger Torrent, the “dealer” of Empresa i Treball de la Generalitat, 23.4% of the 291 technological start-ups in Catalonia are already dedicated to artificial intelligence, and this area is the second largest after biotechnology alone. advanced second area. .
Increase with European funds
This “accelerated deployment” of AI is reflected in the authorities’ strategy. At the end of last year, the Government and its partners approved the allocation of five million euros to the establishment of the Spanish Artificial Intelligence Supervision Agency, which will be located in A Coruña and investigate the risks associated with this technology.
The manager will also use Next Generation European funds to accelerate the adoption of this technology. Therefore, the National Artificial Intelligence Strategy plans to allocate about 500 million euros. recovery funds Encouraging the development of artificial intelligence to have a positive impact on multiple industries. Of these, 278 million have already been approved and will be used for a plan to research, deploy and advance security systems. algorithms environmentally sustainable while accelerating the digital and ecological transition. In March, it approved the Economic Recovery and Transformation Strategic Project (PERTE) involves the creation of an artificial intelligence that understands Spanish, Catalan and other common official languages of the State.
All this means that Spain is positioning itself in an increasingly strategic global market. According to the Price Data Report (IDC), artificial intelligence will grow by 27% per year to reach an investment of 1,400 million euros in 2025. 48% of the largest companies in the country are already considering adopting this disruptive technology.
