The OECD.AI Policy Navigator

ServetIA is an AI-powered research platform developed for the Spanish Prime Minister’s Office to help government staff conduct faster, more thorough policy research. The tool uses large language models with source verification to provide reliable, evidence-based outputs. It was developed to reduce the time public servants spend on information gathering and improve the quality of briefing materials supporting government decision-making. ServetIA is in Beta.

Leveraging on 3 pillars (Community, Applications and Infrastructure), PresidencIA builds AI literacy among staff through workshops, community and best practices, develops custom AI tools for processes in the PM’s Office, and pursues on-premises AI infrastructure for tech sovereignty. It also works to position Spain as a partner for leading AI labs on safety and alignment. The programme addresses the gap between AI’s potential and practical government capacity.

PALOMA is an artificial intelligence system that makes phone calls to people over 75 who live alone to detect situations of unwanted loneliness. It conducts short conversations with a natural sounding voice, identifies risk signals, and offers information or municipal follow up. The project helps reach more people, detect needs earlier, and connect them quickly with social support.

MencIA is a sovereign AI strategy that aims to offer a Platform as a Service (PaaS) to 66 municipalities in the province of Lugo with fewer than 20,000 inhabitants. It will enable local councils to adopt secure, local, open-source AI tools, avoiding dependence on large corporations. The initiative will bridge the digital divide, ensuring that small towns benefit from AI through publicly controlled technology, privacy by design, and efficiency.

The set of 16 guidelines is an initiative developed within the Spanish AI regulatory sandbox pilot to support implementation of the European Artificial Intelligence Act. It includes introductory, technical and checklist materials providing practical recommendations to help organisations comply with regulatory obligations. The guides are non-binding, aligned with EU requirements, structured across thematic areas, and subject to ongoing review and updates as standards and EU guidance evolve.

Incubator focused on AI-based solutions for public sector organizations, with a focus on use cases involving generative AI. Although no public announcement had been issued at the time of writing, Spanish authorities report having received more than 300 requests from ministries. A prioritization protocol and development guidelines for the use cases are being developed.

The programme will finance up to 80% of the enrollment fee of nearly 8,000 young people studying AI in Spanish universities, both public and private.

The Spanish government is working towards the development of a National Plan on Vulnerable Collectives. A study on the impact of AI use on vulnerable collectives was expected to be conducted in Q4 2024.

A specific programme for the development of AI skills (under development at the time of writing) will be launched as part of the national plan for digital competency enhancement (Plan Nacional de Competencias Digitales).
