What the document contains

What's covered

The document covers Spain's draft AI bill, detailing prohibited AI practices, risk categories, penalty structures, governance mechanisms involving AESIA and sector regulators, and deployment provisions within public administration.

What's missing

The text does not state the exact enactment date or full legislative text, nor does it provide technical standard specifications or detailed implementation guidelines beyond structural summaries.

Key takeaways
  • The bill classifies AI systems into risk categories ranging from unacceptable (prohibited) and high risk to transparency obligations and minimum risk.
  • Severe penalties of up to 35 million euros or 7% of annual business turnover are established for prohibited AI practices.
  • High-risk systems require mandatory human supervision, digital prospectuses with clear instructions, and prior assessment.
  • Sectoral authorities such as AEPD, Banco de España, and CNMV coordinate with AESIA to oversee compliance.
  • Regulatory sandboxes are established to allow startups and companies to test AI systems safely before market release.
