Open data on femicide: a fundamental step in the fight against violence against women
Femicide, defined as the gender-based murder of women, remains one of the most extreme forms of violence. In 2023, it is estimated that approximately 85,000 women and girls were murdered in the world and of these, 60% died at the hands of intimate partners or family members, which is equivalent to 1…
Urban Heat Islands: How Geospatial Open Data Can Make Our Cities More Resilient
Cities account for more than two-thirds of Europe's population and consume around 80% of energy. In this context, climate change is having a particularly severe impact on urban environments, not only because of their density, but also because of their construction characteristics, their energy metab…
What I can do in my day-to-day life with AI: prompting tips
Artificial intelligence is no longer a thing of the future: it is here and can become an ally in our daily lives. From making tasks easier for us at work, such as writing emails or summarizing documents, to helping us organize a trip, learn a new language, or plan our weekly menus, AI adapts to our…
Computer use: the AI that learns how to operate your computer
The evolution of generative AI has been dizzying: from the first great language models that impressed us with their ability to reproduce human reading and writing, through the advanced RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) techniques that quantitatively improved the quality of the responses provided…
Artificial intelligence in the EU: projects transforming our society
The European Union is at the forefront of the development of safe, ethical and people-centred artificial intelligence (AI). Through a robust regulatory framework, based on human rights and fundamental values, the EU is building an AI ecosystem that simultaneously benefits citizens, businesses and pu…

Explainable artificial intelligence (XAI): how open data can help understand algorithms
The increasing adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) systems in critical areas such as public administration, financial services or healthcare has brought the need for algorithmic transparency to the forefront. The complexity of AI models used to make decisions such as granting credit or making a…
Open data to promote healthy ageing
Data on older people can play a crucial role in promoting healthy ageing, assisting the development and maintenance of the physical and mental capacities that enable well-being in old age. This open data can be used for the development of policies to better respond to the needs of older people, such…
The role of open data in the evolution of SLM and LLM: efficiency vs. power
Language models are at the epicentre of the technological paradigm shift that has been taking place in generative artificial intelligence (AI) over the last two years. From the tools with which we interact in natural language to generate text, images or videos and which we use to create creativ…
