In Argentina and Spain, academic and governmental institutions are establishing frameworks for the development and implementation of artificial intelligence.

In Argentina, ten national universities have committed to a multidisciplinary Doctorate in Applied Artificial Intelligence to enhance research and training. Concurrently, Argentine municipalities are exploring AI for local management through the Coalition of Cities for Artificial Intelligence in Argentina (CIIAR). This initiative, involving 22 municipalities, focuses on applying technology to urban services, health, security, and mobility.

In Spain, ten universities have formed the ConfIA network. This interuniversity initiative aims to create centers of excellence focused on reliable and responsible AI, seeking to develop systems that are “secure, transparent, and aligned with European values.”
