HispanIA 2040 and the National Artificial Intelligence Strategy 2024 are two distinct yet complementary initiatives with a common goal: to harness the potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to increase Spain's economic prosperity and social welfare. Both the diagnoses and the lines of action set out in the National Artificial Intelligence Strategy 2024 have been taken into account in the preparation of HispanIA 2040.
There are, however, significant differences in the focus and goals of the two projects.
The National Artificial Intelligence Strategy 2024 aims to position Spain as a leader in the development and ethical application of AI, integrating it into the economy and society. In contrast, HispanIA 2040 focuses on how AI can address the major challenges the country will face in the future. HispanIA 2040 is not a blueprint for what capabilities we need to develop to have a leading AI ecosystem in the coming decades (the how). It is a study of how AI can contribute to building a more productive and sustainable economy, enhancing the efficiency and quality of public services, and modernising security and defence systems, all while addressing inequality and bridging social divides (the what for).
The time horizon of the analysis is also different. The Strategy is a roadmap to be implemented in the short term (2024-2025), while HispanIA 2040 considers the potential impact of AI on the Spanish economy and society over a horizon of at least 15 years.
