Redefining the regulatory framework on data in the context of artificial intelligence: the renewed European Union Strategy
La The European Commission has recently presented the document setting out a new EU Strategy in the field of data. Among other ambitious objectives, this initiative aims to address a transcendental challenge in the era of generative artificial intelligence: the insufficient availability of…
Challenges and adjustments in measuring the impact of open data in the age of AI
For more than a decade, open data platforms have measured their impact through relatively stable indicators: number of downloads, web visits, documented reuses, applications or services created based on them, etc. These indicators worked well in an ecosystem where users – companies, journalists…
The antidotes to the AI slop: how to rethink our relationship with content
Massive, superficial AI-generated content isn't just a problem, it's also a symptom. Technology amplifies a consumption model that rewards fluidity and drains our attention span.
We listen to interviews, podcasts and audios of our family at 2x. We watch videos cut into highlights, and we base decisi…
Metadata to increase the reuse of open data in machine learning
Open data is a central piece of digital innovation around artificial intelligence as it allows, among other things, to train models or evaluate machine learning algorithms. But between "downloading a CSV from a portal" and accessing a dataset ready to apply machine learning techniques , there i…
From chatbots to autonomous agents: Agent AI in public services
Three years after the acceleration of the massive deployment of Artificial Intelligence began with the launch of ChatGPT, a new term emerges strongly: Agentic AI. In the last three years, we have gone from talking about language models (such as LLMs) and chatbots (or conversational as…
Real-time geospatial data interoperability: how OGC standards enable real-time data exchange from urban sensors, mobility or weather
Cities, infrastructures and the environment today generate a constant flow of data from sensors, transport networks, weather stations and Internet of Things (IoT) platforms, understood as networks of physical devices (digital traffic lights, air quality sensors, etc.) capable of measuring and transm…
Cyber-Physical Systems: the bridge between the real world and open data
We live in an age where more and more phenomena in the physical world can be observed, measured, and analyzed in real time. The temperature of a crop, the air quality of a city, the state of a dam, the flow of traffic or the energy consumption of a building are no longer data that are occasiona…
Quantum computing and open data. The Next Frontier of Knowledge and Technology
Quantum computing promises to solve problems in hours that would take millennia for the world's most powerful supercomputers. From designing new drugs to optimizing more sustainable energy grids, this technology will radically transform our ability to address humanity's most complex challenges. Howe…
Open data, artificial intelligence and the environment
The convergence between open data, artificial intelligence and environmental sustainability poses one of the main challenges for the digital transformation model that is being promoted at European level. This interaction is mainly materialized in three outstanding manifestations:
The opening of hi…
Projects to promote open government in Spain
Last October, Spain hosted the OGP 2025 Global Summit, an international benchmark event on open government. More than 2,000 representatives of governments, civil society organisations and public policy experts from around the world met in Vitoria-Gasteiz to discuss the importance of maintaining…
