That we are starting with artificial intelligence using biased algorithms is no secret. The dangers of using AI without regulation have been demonstrated and emphasized, whether for personal purposes, in a company or institution, or, even more alarmingly, for disseminating content on social media. Achieving ethical algorithms, aligned with democratic values ​​and incorporating a gender perspective, is an objective that is being pursued, especially in Europe. Women experts in this field are shedding light on a rapidly advancing technology that seems difficult to control and in which, as in the world of... big tech, There's a lack of women.

In such turbulent times as these, security has become a key factor in preserving the autonomy of states. In this context, Indra Group, a leading Spanish multinational in defense, space, air traffic, mobility, artificial intelligence (AI), cybersecurity, and advanced technologies—with nearly 4,000 professionals in Catalonia—attended the Mobile World Congress with IndraMind as its main attraction. This platform, conceived as the company's new technological "brain," underpins much of its progress in artificial intelligence and autonomous systems. Launched in late 2025 to address hybrid threats, Indra's new sovereign intelligence solution faces growing risks with a technological component. IndraMind can coordinate cameras, sensors, operating systems, cybersecurity, communications, alerts, and command centers in real time, providing a unified view so that institutions can make faster and more informed decisions. Indra Group is one of Europe's leading companies in defense and advanced digitalization, and IndraMind is reinforcing its contribution to security and connectivity, not only on land. This new superior cognitive intelligence has been designed to protect cities, infrastructure, and democracies, including from space. Hispasat, from Indra Space, thus takes on special relevance and also plays an essential role in balancing the geopolitical landscape and, therefore, in government communications, both in the civilian and defense sectors.

Telefónica and Fujitsu will expand the MareNostrum 5 supercomputer to make Barcelona one of the seven artificial intelligence (AI) "factories" planned for the European Union (EU). The project, with an investment of €129 million, was awarded to both companies through a call for proposals launched in July. One of the main objectives of the project, with its €129 million budget, is to facilitate access to these new technologies for SMEs. start-ups and public administrations.

Fears are growing about a bursting of the artificial intelligence (AI) bubble. Japanese technology investor Softbank has sold its stake in NvidiaNvidia, the leading producer of chips for generative AI, for $5.8 billion (approximately €5 billion at the current exchange rate). This transaction has shaken stock markets and fueled fears that the AI frenzy has peaked, especially following recent warnings from Wall Street bank executives. In its quarterly results, the Japanese technology investor announced that it had sold the 32.1 million Nvidia shares it had held since October to finance CEO Masayoshi Son's ambitious AI strategy, centered on a "total" commitment to OpenAI, the company behind it.

The world of finance is beginning to dwarf planet Earth. This was stated by Harvard historian Niall Ferguson in his book. The triumph of money (Debate, 2011, updated in 2024). Over the years, this trend has solidified, and the financial economy is outpacing the real world. A prime example is the large technology companies in the United States, especially those most closely related to artificial intelligence (AI). These are companies that have surpassed historic price levels and are beginning to raise alarms not only about the existence of a bubble, which no one doubts, but also about its potential bursting.

US tech giant Nvidia has become the first company in the world to reach a market capitalization of $5 trillion (€4.28 trillion). This consolidates its position as the most valuable publicly traded company of all time, amid expectations regarding the potential impact on its artificial intelligence chip business of the upcoming meeting between US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping. The world is also awaiting the group's earnings report, due to be released in mid-November.

There's a crossover between technology, science, and artificial intelligence that could revolutionize medicine, research, and other things we probably can't even imagine today. One of the people most familiar with this intersection is Josep Maria Martorell. He has been Director General of Research, Associate Director of the Barcelona Supercomputing Center, and for months has been a partner at the investment firm Invivo Partners, where he focuses on investing in artificial intelligence projects.

Chipmaker AMD and OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT, have announced a six-gigawatt deal to power OpenAI’s next-generation artificial intelligence infrastructure across multiple generations of AMD Instinct graphics processing units (GPUs). The first deployment, of a 1-gigawatt AMD Instinct MI450 GPU, is planned to begin in the second half of 2026. Under the agreement, Open AI could eventually own up to 10% of AMD, Nvidia’s primary competitor, with whom it also recently finalized a deal.

US President Donald Trump has ordered the country's independent nuclear regulatory commission to reduce regulations and speed up the process of granting new licenses for reactors and power plants. The goal is to reduce the process to eighteen months.

Nvidia, the artificial intelligence (AI) chip giant, expects to lose $5.5 billion (more than €4.8 billion) in the first quarter of this year due to the Trump administration's decision to require a license to export chips integrated into H2 to China. This move against China also affects Hong Kong and Macau.

Thestart-upCatalan TravelPerk, dedicated to business travel management, is the only Spanish company that participates in the alliance of European companies that will invest in European AI; a plan announced on Tuesday by the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, which will mobilize 200 billion euros in investments in the AI ​​sector over the next five years. On the list, the Catalan company appears alongside some of the major European industrial giants, but none of them are Spanish; the Airbus group, which is based in France but has Spanish participation, is participating.

The term algorithm is used much more now than when the 9th century Persian mathematician from whom it derives, Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi, devised methods for solving first and second degree equations. The reasons are clear: now there is more data and more computing power. But there have always been algorithms, which are nothing more than a set of instructions aimed at executing a task. The recipe for a chocolate cake or a Valencian paella are algorithms. The way to light a fire with two sticks is an algorithm. The hunting technique used by some groups of killer whales, when they expel air while spinning under their prey to catch them in a cylinder of bubbles, is an algorithm, in this case generated and transmitted in a pre-linguistic way. So are the nuptial dances of the bird of paradise or lullabies.

Machines, although it may be hard to believe, are subject to moral and ethical principles. And the more sophisticated they are, which implies more degrees of freedom and more autonomy, the higher the ethical component. This is the case of robots and artificial intelligence. To a large extent, whether these principles are respected depends on their programming, that is, on the algorithms that are created so that the machines perform the function for which they are designed. In other words, human intervention in their conception. The study of these ethical rules and principles, which goes far beyond what Isaac Asimov defined in 1950 as the fact that in no way could a robot harm a human, is called roboethics. A discipline that is growing with each passing day and that has algorithm programming at its core.
