Spain’s government defence ministry
Data and information, tools and applications enabled by AI will be used to improve the understanding and capabilities of people, not with the aim of replacing them, but to complement them and make it easier for them to add greater value to their activities, while also aligning with the applicable ethical principles. In the near-term horizon, artificial intelligence will be integrated extensively into the activity of the Ministry of Defence, in general, and of the Armed Forces in particular. That integration will be conditional on the use of artificial intelligence always being carried out in an identifiable way, being aimed at increasing effectiveness in the missions and tasks of the department, and being applicable at all organizational levels or in the conduct of operations. The use of artificial intelligence will always be in accordance with national and international law, the ethical principles for AI use, and directed to its area of applicability.AI Verified source (2023)

The quote directly addresses responsible AI use within defense: it discusses AI integration in the Ministry of Defence and Armed Forces, says AI should complement rather than replace people, and requires identifiable use consistent with ethical principles and national/international law. That matches the full statement about promoting responsible use of AI in defense policy.

The quote clearly endorses AI in defence under responsible conditions: it says AI will be integrated into the Ministry of Defence and Armed Forces, while "aligning with the applicable ethical principles" and "always be in accordance with national and international law."

I verified this as authentic. Spain’s official BoletÃn Oficial del Ministerio de Defensa published the 2023 Estrategia de desarrollo, implantación y uso de la Inteligencia Artificial en el Ministerio de Defensa (Resolution 11197/2023, dated June 29, 2023, published July 6, 2023), and it contains the Spanish originals matching both passages at lines 371-375 and 494-499. The cited El Confidencial Digital article also reproduces the same wording at lines 157-168. The text you provided is not the original language, but it is a faithful English translation and is correctly attributed to the Ministry of Defence (Spain) in 2023.

AI Unverifiable
Source_url (elconfidencialdigital.com, July 2023) returned HTTP 403 to WebFetch. Web search corroborated the substance: the quote is an English translation of content from Spain's Ministry of Defence AI strategy (Estrategia de IA en el Ministerio de Defensa, Resolución 11197/2023 of 29 June 2023), reported under the headline "Defensa garantiza que el uso militar de la inteligencia artificial tendrá siempre un control humano." The strategy's documented themes — AI to complement rather than replace personnel, identifiable/supervised use, accountability, and adherence to national/international law and ethical principles — match the quoted text. Author attribution (Ministry of Defence, Spain), year (2023), and the "for" vote on "Promoting responsible use of AI in defense policy" all align. This 2023 institutional quote is relevant and kept. Marking ai_unverifiable only because the source_url blocks fetching; corroboration of the substance is strong.
