Barcelona77% of citizens demand more regulations on the development of artificial intelligence. This is what emerges from the first Survey on the social perception of digital rights in Spain. The poll was conducted by the La Caixa Foundation, Red.es –the entity associated with the Spanish government dedicated to promoting the digital agenda– and the Hermes Foundation, in collaboration with the University of Barcelona. The document details that the majority of Spaniards want more public oversight of AI and its effects on the economy and society. In fact, more than half of respondents would prefer that the development of applications based on this technology 'slow down'. However, 49% expect it to eventually have "positive effects" for the general population.
