Comment by Jacobo González-Robatto Perote

We are addressing an issue that will indeed shape the future of security and defense in Spain. In a context of growing global competition, where actors like China and Russia are betting very heavily on military artificial intelligence, Spain cannot afford to fall behind or to depend exclusively on decisions made outside our borders. From VOX we share the importance of developing solid strategies in this area, but we cannot support a proposal without making essential modifications. [...] We are not against regulating, but we are concerned that these rules imposed from outside will limit our capacity for innovation and adaptation in the military domain. We support greater investment in AI and we support cooperation with our allies, but never at the expense of our independence and sovereignty.
