The
Secretary-General of the International
Telecommunication Union, Doreen
Bogdan-Martin, has held a high-level meeting with Pedro Sánchez, underscoring Spain’s growing role
in advancing global cooperation on artificial intelligence.
The meeting highlighted Spain’s leadership in
convening the International Scientific Panel on AI at a critical moment in
global technological development. The initiative is expected to contribute to
evidence-based discussions on the governance and societal impact of artificial
intelligence.
Bogdan-Martin expressed appreciation to the Government
of Spain for its commitment to
multilateral engagement, noting the country’s long-standing relationship with
the ITU, which dates back to 1865.
The engagement comes amid increasing
global focus on coordinated approaches to AI governance, with international
organisations and governments seeking to balance innovation with responsible
oversight and inclusive development.
Spain’s
role in supporting multilateral platforms is seen as a key contribution to
shaping global frameworks that address the opportunities and risks associated
with emerging technologies.
