IDSA has published a new position paper, “Data Spaces and AI: Trustworthy Agentic Participation in Data Spaces”, which analyses the two-way relationship between data spaces and artificial intelligence.
The report highlights that, on the one hand, data spaces contribute to AI by providing governance, traceability and verifiable usage policies; whilst, on the other hand, AI reduces the cost of scaling these spaces by automating tasks such as metadata creation or the translation of legal terms into machine-readable policies.
The study, carried out by Fujitsu and the Fraunhofer ISST, also presents three models of cooperation between artificial intelligence agents and data spaces – models that have already been implemented in pilot projects in Japan and Germany.
The Government has published the text of the Draft Bill on the Proper Use and Governance of Artificial Intelligence, which will bring the Spanish framework into line with the European AI Regulation (AI Act).
This legislation strengthens the role of the Spanish Data Protection Agency (AEPD) in supervising systems that process biometric data, a particularly relevant aspect in a context where the exchange and use of data is becoming increasingly important for the development of AI solutions and sector-specific data spaces.
Among the key new features of this legislation is the emphasis on supervising high-risk AI systems, particularly those using facial, voice or fingerprint recognition. Growing concerns regarding access to this sensitive data highlight the need for robust frameworks ensuring trust, sovereignty and control over information.
