Position Paper

Delegation: The Kingdom of Spain


Committee: Disarmament and International Security
Topic A: Artificial Intelligence

The Kingdom of Spain, considers technology and science as a indiscutible part of social pro-
gress, and recognizes the importance that it has to the complete development of its economy.
Spain sees in Artificial Intelligence an opportunity to increase their labour productivity and
with it, the size of their economy. This is very important considering that Spain is the second
country, with the biggest foreign debt. The enormous number, of their debt, 3,30 billions of
euros, which is almost the 323% of their PIB, can be a rich illustration to see the importance
the government gives, to constantly search sources of enrichment for developing their eco-
nomy, seeing AI as one.

With the Kingdom of Spain being a member of the European Union, they defend postures
alike in this area, being Spain part of Horizon 2020, project which aims to extend and rein-
force the European Research Area, and make it more competitive at the global scale. On the
other hand, and being their foreign politics, based in human rights and the rule of law, they
dont promote, the UE and Spain, neither defend, the use of science and technology, neither
AI, to create military weapons, or inventions that could be used to harm people. On the other
hand, and having said this, Spain invest a lot in science, technology and research in Artificial
Intelligence, but it combines it with some guiding principles, which are, that new technolo-
gies must exist, first and foremost, to serve the public and social progress of Spanish citizens,
giving answer to the new global challenges that face society in the 21st century, in second
place they have to contribute to increase the competitiveness of the production structures, by
increasing the activities related to each area, mainly in those that are crucial to foster econo-
mic growth and for generating sources of employment for the Spanish people, crucial if we
consider the high unemployment rate that face the country of 22,7% and at last to aid the ad-
vancement of knowledge and economic, social and cultural development of this generation.

Furthermore the Spanish Government, promotes in Spanish citizens, and as a result, of the
increasing use of devices, which they constantly invest and promote, that incorporate Artifi-
cial Intelligence on their daily lives, the correct and safe use of this devices, by constantly
legislating about the right use of this new devices and preventing this new technology from
being harmful in any way, this is illustrated with the new Royal Decree-Law which stipulates
that drones, can only be used in non urban areas and not further than 5 kilometers away of its
owner.

Spain strongly believes that the Disarmament and International Security Committee, must
work, to create new rules and regulations for the correct use and creation of Artificial Intelli-
gence, encouraging the correct use of this devices in people's daily lives, and discouraging
the use of AI in harmful ways. As a country that benefits from the development of science
and technology specially in Artificial Intelligence, which is a new source of enrichment for
the country, and being a country, that recognizes the benefits of science to achieve social pro-
gress and tackle new global challenges, Spain opposes any attempt to ban the development of
Artificial Intelligence, in areas that could increase productivity of industries, or in areas that
can increase people and the entire world quality of life, such as health, transportation, sustai-
nable energy, food quality, and any effort to address the negative implications of global war-
ming.
