- This report focuses on legal developments and analyses the law related to AI and robotics in Spain. The report explores five questions on legal developments in Spain related to AI and robotics, i.e., recent developments, plans to implement new legislation, creation of new regulatory bodies, case law and other future relevant developments. The research did not identify any significant developments, however we anticipate there will be developments in terms of finding solutions to issues generated by AI and robotics in the near future. The report explores specific legal issues. It looks at how Spanish law regulates/addresses algorithmic bias and discrimination. It also looks at how the law addresses intellectual property issues related to works created by AI. With regard to both these, in Spain there is no special regulation; the general system, Fundamental Rights and Intellectual Property Act, can provide solutions. It is necessary to go to these general norms to find solutions. In relation to discrimination, there is specific act on gender discrimination and minorities (LGTB community or disabled people). The report also highlights one other relevant issue - criminal liability for robots’ acts.
