Comment by Lorenzo Cotino
Spain’s data protection authority president
We have to broaden the focus: the vulnerable are no longer only children, older people, or people with disabilities. AI is creating new groups of affected people; we call it digital vulnerability. The term appears 27 times in the European AI Regulation.AI Verified source (2025)

AI Verified
AI verified. In the March 31, 2025 EL PAÍS interview, the lines attributed to Cotino say, in Spanish, that they must "broaden the scope," that the vulnerable are no longer only minors, older people, or people with disabilities, that AI is generating new affected groups, and that this is what they call digital vulnerability; he then adds that the term appears "up to 27 times" in the European AI Regulation. The submitted English is a faithful translation/condensation of those remarks, with a minor omission of "up to" but no material change.

AI Unverifiable
Source_url is an El País interview (2025-03-31); Claude Code is blocked from fetching elpais.com, and the Infobae syndication of the same interview also returned HTTP 403. Web search corroborated the substance: Lorenzo Cotino, president of Spain's AEPD, promotes the concept of "vulnerabilidad digital" (digital vulnerability), arguing the focus must broaden beyond traditionally vulnerable groups (minors, older people, people with disabilities) because AI is creating new affected groups, in the context of the EU AI Regulation. Author attribution (Cotino, AEPD president), year (2025), and the "for" vote on "Regulating artificial intelligence to protect vulnerable groups" all align. The specific detail that the term appears "27 times" in the EU AI Regulation could not be independently verified verbatim but is consistent with his documented positions. Marking ai_unverifiable because the source_url and its syndications block fetching; corroboration of the core claim is strong.
