The Spanish Government has set up the Artificial Intelligence Advisory Council, made up of internationally renowned Spanish experts, including representatives from the scientific, economic and educational fields. Asunción Gómez-Pérez, professor of Artificial Intelligence (AI) at the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM) and one of the most influential women in the world on Semantic Web, is part of this Council.
The main objective of this Advisory Council is to provide independent advice and recommendations on the measures to be adopted to guarantee the safe and ethical use of AI.
