The Spanish Ministry of Economic Affairs and Digital Transformation establishes a controlled testing environment to evaluate the implementation of requirements for high-risk, general-purpose, and foundational AI systems under the proposed European AI Regulation. This initiative aims to generate evidence-based guidelines and best practices to facilitate compliance for entities, particularly SMEs, while ensuring the protection of fundamental rights and public safety. The decree outlines eligibility criteria, selection procedures, and the collaborative framework for participants, serving as a temporary measure that will cease to be valid once the EU AI Regulation enters into force in Spain.
