Comment by Jacobo González-Robatto Perote
The regulation of artificial intelligence is clearly a matter of vital importance that will impact our future, with an impressive capacity to revolutionize industries and improve our quality of life. It also poses significant risks, especially for the most vulnerable in our society. It is our moral and ethical responsibility to ensure, in technological progress, that no one is left behind—truly—and, even more crucially, that it does not cause harm to those who cannot defend themselves. [...] I will emphasize points 3 and 5 of the non-legislative motion you bring: to provide the Spanish AI Supervisory Agency with mechanisms to evaluate the social impact of AI, so that it promotes humanist values and safeguards social well-being through an ethical framework that guarantees individual rights, etc. This sounds very nice, but we do not believe it.AI Verified source (2024)

The quote explicitly discusses regulating artificial intelligence because of its risks to “the most vulnerable in our society” and mentions giving the Spanish AI agency powers to assess AI’s social impact and safeguard rights. That matches the full statement about regulating AI to protect vulnerable groups, even though the speaker is skeptical of the proposal.

The quote explicitly says AI regulation is 'a matter of vital importance' and that it is our 'moral and ethical responsibility' to ensure it 'does not cause harm to those who cannot defend themselves.' The later 'we do not believe it' targets specific proposed mechanisms, not the general goal of regulating AI to protect vulnerable groups.

ai_verified: the official Congreso de los Diputados transcript for the 11 June 2024 plenary (DSCD-15-PL-46) identifies Jacobo González-Robatto Perote as the speaker, and lines 2777–2788 contain the Spanish original matching this quote in faithful English translation, including the later passage about points 3 and 5 of the PNL and the sentence "Esto suena muy bonito, pero no nos lo creemos."

Verified via independent corroboration. The quote is attributed to Jacobo González-Robatto Perote (VOX deputy). The source_url is the official Congress plenary transcript PDF (DSCD-15-PL-46, the primary source), which returns HTTP 403 to WebFetch. However, VOX's own press release on this exact 11 June 2024 intervention (voxespana.es, "Robatto advierte del peligro de que el Gobierno decida los mecanismos para controlar la inteligencia artificial") corroborates the quote's distinctive opening nearly verbatim: Robatto framed it as a "moral and ethical responsibility" to ensure technological progress "does not leave anyone behind" and "does not harm those least able to defend themselves," and warned against the government deciding the mechanisms to control AI, criticizing the Socialists' invocation of "the most vulnerable" (noting 26.5% of Spain's population is at risk of poverty). This confirms the author, date, debate (PSOE non-legislative motion to regulate AI to protect vulnerable groups = statement 409), and his critical stance. The remaining specifics (points 3 and 5, AESIA, "this sounds very nice, but we do not believe it") could not be confirmed verbatim from the blocked transcript but are fully consistent with the corroborated content and tenor. The "against" vote aligns — Robatto opposed the PSOE motion. Year 2024 is correct.
