Luce IT at the Google Cloud AI Live Madrid. Here’s what was discussed
On May 28th, IFEMA became the true technological epicenter of Spain. At Luce IT, we are very proud to have participated as official sponsors in the most powerful Artificial Intelligence event of the year: the Google Cloud AI Live Madrid 2026.
It was an intense day, full of innovation, reunions, and, above all, a lot of future vision. But what does all this mean for day-to-day projects? We’ll tell you.
What is Google Cloud AI Live?
Google Cloud AI Live is the benchmark annual event organized by Google to show the world the latest capabilities of its ecosystem, with a special focus on Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI). It is the meeting point where business leaders, engineers, and partners gather to explore how these tools are changing the rules of the game at a corporate level.
In this edition, the main central axis of the presentations revolved around Autonomous Intelligence and the future of the Sovereign Cloud in Spain, two key concepts to ensure that technological innovation goes hand in hand with security, privacy, and European regulatory compliance.
Key novelties presented at the event
During the day, Google broke down its most advanced solutions. Below, we summarize the most prominent ones and their main advantage:
- The era of Autonomous Intelligence: Advances were presented towards AI systems capable of making complex decisions and executing complete workflows with minimal human intervention, drastically optimizing operational efficiency.
- Boost to the Sovereign Cloud: Google Cloud reaffirmed its commitment to data sovereignty in Spain, ensuring that companies can leverage the full power of the cloud and AI while complying with the strictest local data privacy, security, and residency controls.
- Gemini: Google’s foundational generative AI model. Its great advantage is native multimodality, which means it can understand, operate, and combine different types of information seamlessly (text, code, audio, image, and video) to create truly intelligent solutions.
- Vertex AI: Google Cloud’s Machine Learning platform. Its greatest benefit is that it allows companies to train, tune, and deploy AI models in a scalable manner and in a fully secure environment, integrating them directly into their own applications.
Why Google Cloud with Luce IT
Talking about Artificial Intelligence is exciting, but the real challenge is knowing how to apply it. This is where our team comes into play.
Being official Google Cloud partners, at Luce IT we not only have first-hand access to these innovations, but we are specialists in grounding them. Our mission is to act as the bridge between Google Cloud’s cutting-edge technology and our clients’ specific needs.
During the event, we had the opportunity to sit down and chat about concrete projects in sectors such as Retail, Travel, Utilities, and Education. Our goal is always the same: to bring and implement real GenAI solutions that allow efficiently scaling data models, resolving architectural doubts, and, ultimately, transforming our clients’ business.
An event to remember
Of course, not everything was theory. We were present in Pavilion 12 with our own booth, where a large part of our innovation and business team—led by Nacho, Roger, José, and Javier—was welcoming clients and friends for private technical and strategic sessions.
We close this edition of Google Cloud AI Live with very clear conclusions: generative AI is an unstoppable growth lever, and with the right support, its integration can mark a before and after in any company.
At Luce IT, we help you optimize your processes and extract the maximum value from your data by integrating Google Cloud solutions with our own assets, such as LIA (Luce Intelligent Assistant), awarded by Google Cloud for its high business impact. If you want to know more about how Luce IT can help you implement Generative AI in your company, get in touch with us.

Frequently Asked Questions about Google Cloud AI Live
What is the Autonomous Intelligence presented at Google Cloud AI Live Madrid?
It is the evolution of AI towards systems capable of executing complex workflows and making operational decisions with minimal human intervention. The event discussed how these autonomous agents will transform industrial productivity, an approach that at Luce IT we are already implementing through conversational and automation solutions that connect directly with companies’ operational systems.
What does the Google Cloud Sovereign Cloud announcement for Spain consist of?
The Sovereign Cloud is a strategic proposal by Google Cloud to ensure that data storage and processing strictly comply with European and Spanish regulations regarding privacy, security, and data residency. This allows highly regulated sectors to adopt AI with complete confidence. As technology partners, at Luce IT we design cloud architectures under these sovereignty principles, ensuring that our clients’ data remains protected and under their control at all times.
What are the main advantages of Gemini and Vertex AI for the business environment?
Gemini stands out for its native multimodality, allowing it to process text, images, audio, and video simultaneously and seamlessly. On the other hand, Vertex AI is the platform that allows managing the entire lifecycle of these models in a scalable and secure way. At Luce IT, we combine both Google Cloud tools to develop custom use cases, optimizing everything from raw data ingestion to the creation of intelligent assistants with a direct impact on ROI.
How can we ensure that the adoption of Generative Artificial Intelligence complies with information security?
Regulatory compliance and risk mitigation (such as data leaks or incorrect responses) are achieved through the implementation of governance layers or guardrails. Google Cloud AI Live emphasized the importance of responsible AI. Following this line, at Luce IT we apply advanced frameworks for controlling and verifying inputs and outputs in all our deployments, ensuring that the use of commercial models is completely safe for the corporate environment.
