Amparo Alonso analyses the Spanish Artificial Intelligence Strategy in a seminar on ethics that brought together more than 200 people in Santiago
The researcher from CITIC at the Universidade da Coruña, Amparo Alonso, took part on 7 November in a seminar on ethics and AI that gathered in Santiago more than two hundred business leaders, executives, specialists and professionals from the academic and scientific fields. The UDC professor analysed the Spanish Artificial Intelligence Strategy in a presentation in which governance, knowledge, education and values were addressed.
Amparo Alonso examined the development of AI alongside the director of CiTIUS, Senén Barro; Teresa Rodríguez de las Heras, member of the European Commission’s AI expert group; and Ulises Cortés, professor at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center and AI specialist. All of them agreed on the need to promote a people-centred artificial intelligence, capable of balancing technological innovation with ethical and social responsibility. From different perspectives — scientific research and development, national strategy, legal regulation and values-based education — the speakers emphasised that the future of AI depends on robust governance, an education that fosters critical thinking, and cooperation between science, law and citizens to ensure progress that is genuinely human and sustainable.
More than two hundred people met on 7 November at the Hospedería de San Martín Pinario, in Santiago de Compostela, to debate and reflect on Ethics and AI: Does it change or transcend the human being? A gathering promoted by the Archdiocese of Santiago de Compostela, in which the impact of new technologies was discussed with a focus on the ethical and human challenges posed by AI in contemporary times.
