On May 23rd, LuceIT was present at one of the most important Google events in Spain, the Google Cloud Summit. It was an amazing day, full of innovation and opportunities to share with customers and Google Cloud experts. During the event, exciting advances in generative AI were presented, tailored specifically to the Spanish market, as well as options for data residency and security enhancements that are crucial for enterprises and government entities – we even enjoyed live demonstrations!
A recent Implement report commissioned by Google highlights a significant economic opportunity for Spain with the widespread adoption of artificial intelligence (AI). According to the report, AI could boost the Spanish economy by as much as €120 billion over the next decade – impressive!
Key areas for AI development:
Given the enormous transformative potential of AI, there are several key areas we need to work on:
1. Data governance:
Enterprises want to control where their data is stored and how it is protected. Now, Google Cloud customers in Spain can store their generative AI data within the country, in compliance with local regulations.
2. Security accreditation:
Google Cloud has accredited more than 190 services according to the National Security Scheme (ENS) (RD 311/2022), being pioneers in this area.
3. Workforce training:
There is a gap between current digital skills and market demands. Therefore, we introduce AI training programs to close this gap.
4. “Help me write” in Spanish:
This feature in Google Docs and Gmail will help professionals draft messages and write reports more efficiently, facilitating communication in Spanish.
5. Cybersecurity with AI:
We are developing AI applications to automate security and analyze malware, creating a more secure digital environment.
6. Local infrastructure:
We have established a cloud region in Spain, providing the necessary infrastructure for data residency and latency reduction.
