Comment by Pedro Sánchez
Prime Minister of Spain
The direction of AI is currently determined by a small group of companies [...] We are seeing the construction of an oligarchy that responds solely to its own interests. The governance of artificial intelligence should be in the hands of the people, not a small group of individuals.AI Verified source (2026)

AI Verified
Verified via web search. Pedro Sánchez's speech at the opening of the first meeting of the UN Panel of Experts on AI (Spain's Congress of Deputies, April 22, 2026) is confirmed by multiple sources (La Moncloa official transcript in English/Spanish, La Ecuación Digital, Alcázar de San Juan). The key phrases — "determined by a small group of companies", "construction of an oligarchy that responds solely to its own interests", and call for AI governance "in the hands of the people" — are all corroborated. Author attribution (Sánchez as PM of Spain) is correct. Year 2026 is correct. Vote "for" on statement 446 ("AGI could make governments subordinate to the companies that develop it") aligns with Sánchez's warning about corporate oligarchy controlling AI direction at the expense of democratic governance. Could not directly fetch lamoncloa.gob.es (403) but web search excerpts strongly corroborate.
