AMETIC's AI and Big Data Committee: a leader in the digital industry

AMETIC's AI and Big Data Committee is one of the most closely followed by its members: it has six working groups (WG) and an observatory, making it the commission with the most WGs. These working groups are: AI analysis and positioning, language technologies, prediction, artificial vision, neurocomputing and generative AI. TECNALIA actively participates in all the WGs, with the exception of the prediction WG, and it leads the Generative AI WG.

The working groups have an annual programme of objectives and actions that focus on continuous dialogue with the Public Administrations (especially the SEDIA, Secretariat of State for Digitalisation and Artificial Intelligence, and the Data General Directorate), the response to queries from the European Digital Europe board and the European Commission, the organisation of case study sessions on the use of the technology, and the issue of positioning documents.

The documents are channelled towards institutions or the public through the Observatory or webinars.

This re-election recognises the work and commitment of Joseba Laka and TECNALIA in the promotion and development of artificial intelligence and big data in Spain.
