Our table was called &#8216;regulating Artificial Intelligence&#8217;, but, taking advantage of the current negotiation of the Digital Omnibus (OD), I wanted to stop and analyse the scope and meaning of this proposal. And it is noteworthy that before a rule that has been in force since August 2024 and that is, was about to develop effects in its most substantial part this August, we are already facing an amendment that goes far beyond mere adjustments. We are facing a shock that threatens to destabilize a building that requires very delicate counterweights.</p><p>&#8216;Pragmatism or claudication?&#8217;, Master Fernando Llano asked last week, in an article in the press in which he briefly analysed the Digital Omnibus that the European Commission presented in November 2025, under the declared intention of reducing bureaucracy and simplifying compliance, but which nevertheless entails some striking reductions in protection standards and obligations for deployers and developers of Artificial Intelligence (AI). The Omnibus not only proposes reforms in the European Artificial Intelligence regulation (AAC), but also in the General Data Protection Regulation, the Data Act, the Data Governance Act or in cybersecurity. But, of course, today we&#8217;re going to stop at AI. For anticipating an answer to Professor Llano&#8217;s question, I would say: Some pragmatism and a lot of claudication.</p><p>It is well known that the EU is at this time focused on the pursuit of competitiveness, as the main item of this mandate (spurred by the Draghi and Letta reports) and that the need for better harmonisation in the interaction between different digital standards, as well as simplification in the means of compliance with them, is obvious. But we must also bear in mind that, after several years of enormous legislative effort, Europe should not forget values such as legal certainty, the protection of citizens, and the establishment of a socio-legal space that responds to its values principles (even if it is subject to enormous pressure from the outside to devalue them).</p><p>I will comment below on some of the most substantial points of the OD, from my point of view , without exhaustive or in-depth spirit; and always taking into account that you have to wait for the final negotiation to know its real scope.</p><p>1. Pandora&#8217;s Box</p><p>To begin with, conceptually speaking, OD is a controlled demolition attempt. As Dr Laura Caroli says, &#8216;they opened the Pandora Box&#8217;. Reopening the text of the AI Act just a few months after an arduous, technically difficult and politically balanced political agreement is a kind of recklessness. In fact, it seems that the alteration of the ideological balance of the 2019-2024 mandate has caused a kind of sense of opportunity for revenge for more extreme pro-deregulation positions. If that is so, it is a big mistake, because precisely the arduous consensus that was reached then was not only more representative of a more diverse social and political reality than a mere conjuncture, but a guarantee of long-term stability and legal certainty.</p><p>As if this were not enough, this proposal is also made taking into account a very tight schedule (that August 1 as the date of entry into force of high-risk bonds), at the risk of alternatively generating chaos if that term is not reached in time. In fact, the Commission has not even met its own deadlines for issuing guidelines and compliance guides, which are essential to facilitate compliance with complex rules; It seems that they have already discounted the result of the trilogues. Either me or the chaos.</p><p>2. The attack on the Digital Enlightenment</p><p>Let&#8217;s go to something that for me was already a poorly closed chapter in the original text and that if it deserved something, it was its improvement. Digital Enlightenment is the most important tool we have as a society and as individuals to adapt and take advantage, in equity, of the opportunities that come from the digital revolution; to protect us from their most important risks. This cannot be replaced by laws, public control bodies or private self-regulatory mechanisms.</p><p>In the AAC, AI literacy was an obligation of companies and a right of workers who would have to use those systems; in addition to a deferred citizen&#8217;s right: if a lawyer, doctor or toy factory operator is going to use a high-risk tool, she has the right and obligation to know what she is up to.</p><p>The proposal no longer needs to be &#8220;guaranteed&#8221;, it becomes an evanescent responsibility of the Commission and the Member States, who &#8220;should encourage&#8221; suppliers and deployers to take such measures, through training opportunities and information resources, instead of being a direct legal mandate for the company.</p><p>3. The Trojan Horse: SMEs and Small Mid-caps</p><p>Who can object to helping small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to comply with RIA obligations? For that, among other things, the guidelines and guidelines were designed. But it is not about that, but that from now on they are applied a simplified and summary regime that the law reserved for micro-enterprises (less than 10 employees). And not only that, the reality is that they have put through the back door the Small Mid-caps (companies of between 250 and 749 employees, and turnover of up to 150 million euros, according to the Recommendation 2025/1099 of the Commission).</p><p>Well, in the European Union (EU), if we add SMEs and these mid-caps (small mid-cap companies), we are talking about more than 99% of the business fabric. Not only does the simplified scheme for micro-enterprises extend to SMEs, but it is also intended to be general rather than exceptional.</p><p>We have created a &#8220;general&#8221; law which, in practice, only applies strictly to less than 1% of companies; an exception regime so massive that the general rule becomes the anecdote. And we will see if it is not at the end of an incentive for large corporations to fragment their AI departments into subsidiaries that qualify as Small Mid-caps, to try to sneak in for that simplified regime.</p><p>4. The End of Horizontal Application.</p><p>This is the most conceptually profound point and where the proposal has accommodated the pressures of some lobbies in a more noticeable way. The plan is to move all Annex IA products (lifts, toys, machinery) to the Annex IB system. Thus, the AI Law ceases to apply directly to these sectors and becomes a spectrum that wanders around the house, but without any corporeality.</p><p>Instead of having common and transparent European standards, the European Commission (I smelled for the reservation of law) will dictate sector-specific rules separately, leading to total fragmentation. We will have an AI for medical devices, a different one for cars and another one for pacemakers, (probably with different safety standards, depending on the pressure capacity of each sector).</p><p>5. Ban on &#8220;naked AI&#8221;: new category not initially foreseen in the OD.</p><p>Both Parliament and Council include it in their positions as an additional element, but not covered by the initial DB proposal. It is certainly a political response to the (justified) scandal that GROK generated, following the presentation of the proposal by the Commission.</p><p>The proposal is to prohibit the generation or manipulation of images and videos using generative AI, in which the person involved is identifiable, which may be an image/video of intimate parts, or of that person participating in sexually explicit activities, and that there is no accreditable and verifiable consent. It is up to the supplier to put in place measures to prevent such generation.</p><p>The Council added a specific ban on CSAM (child sexual abuse material), except when used by law enforcement to infiltrate abuse networks. The prohibition covers the generation of this content when it is the intended purpose of the system or even a reasonably foreseeable result if preventive measures are lacking.</p><p>Exceptions are added, such as partial nudity, artistic or satirical content, or unrealistic images.</p><p>6. Article 50, transparency of AI-generated content:</p><p>Connected with this, we are faced with the most difficult proposal to understand from my point of view. A multi-month moratorium on compliance with the mandatory labelling of generative AI products (including deepfakes) is proposed for systems already operating on the market (all known). All this justified by current impossibilities for compliance due to technical issues. As if in a handful of months this is going to change substantially&#8230;</p><p>7. Conclusion.</p><p>I turn again to Professor Llano for my conclusion, which is his and I share: &#8220;Digital Omnibus is not the end of the European AI model, it is its first stress test and the result is disturbing&#8221;</p><p>The panorama that draws this Omnibus is that of a Europe that has been afraid of its own humanistic ambition. We went from leading in the world with an ethical and robust law, boasting in addition to it and defending our balances with conviction, to amending ourselves without even having had the gallantry to try.</p><p>The legal certainty and generality promised by the AI Act is changed to a fragmented model, in which the Commission will have immense discretionary power. We have exchanged a freshly squeezed orange juice, for a tasteless substitute</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

length="0" type="image/jpeg"/><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>El pasado jueves particip&#233; en la Semana Internacional sobre el Impacto Jur&#237;dico y Social  de la Inteligencia Artificial, de la Universidad de Oviedo. Nuestra mesa se denominaba &#8220;regulando la Inteligencia Artificial&#8221;, pero, aprovechando la actualidad negociadora del &#211;mnibus Digital (OD),  quise detenerme a analizar el alcance y significado de esta propuesta. Y es que es de resaltar que ante una norma que lleva en vigor desde agosto de 2024 y que est&#225;, estaba, a punto de desarrollar efectos en su parte m&#225;s sustancial este mismo agosto, nos encontremos ya ante una enmienda que vaya mucho m&#225;s all&#225; de meros ajustes. Nos hallamos ante un shock que amenaza con desestabilizar un edificio que requiere de contrapesos muy delicados.</p><p>&#8220;&#191;Pragmatismo o claudicaci&#243;n?&#8221;, se preguntaba la pasada semana el maestro Fernando Llano, en un art&#237;culo en prensa en el que analizaba someramente el &#211;mnibus Digital que la Comisi&#243;n Europea present&#243; en noviembre de 2025, bajo la intenci&#243;n declarada de disminuir la burocracia y simplificar el cumplimiento, pero que sin embargo entra&#241;a algunas llamativas reducciones de los est&#225;ndares de protecci&#243;n y obligaciones para desplegadores y desarrolladores de Inteligencia Artificial (IA). El &#211;mnibus no s&#243;lo plantea reformas en el Reglamento Europeo de Inteligencia Artificial (RIA), sino tambi&#233;n en el Reglamento General de Protecci&#243;n de Datos, la Ley de Datos, la Ley De Gobernanza de Datos o en ciberseguridad. Pero, por supuesto, hoy vamos a detenernos en la IA. Por anticipar una respuesta a la pregunta del profesor Llano, dir&#237;a: algo de pragmatismo y mucho de claudicaci&#243;n.</p><p>Es notorio que la UE se halla en este tiempo centrada en la b&#250;squeda de la competitividad, como <em>&#237;tem </em>principal de este mandato (espoleado por los informes Draghi y Letta) y que es obvia la necesidad de una mejor armonizaci&#243;n en la interacci&#243;n entre diferentes normas digitales, as&#237; como una simplificaci&#243;n en los medios de cumplimiento de las mismas. Pero tambi&#233;n hay que tener en cuenta que, tras varios a&#241;os de enorme esfuerzo legislativo, Europa no debiera olvidarse de valores como los de seguridad jur&#237;dica, la protecci&#243;n de la ciudadan&#237;a, y el establecimiento de un espacio socio-jur&#237;dico que responda a sus principios valores (por m&#225;s que sea objeto de enormes presiones desde el exterior para devaluarlos). </p><p>Comentar&#233; a continuaci&#243;n algunos de los puntos m&#225;s sustanciales del OD, desde mi punto de vista , sin &#225;nimo exhaustivo ni de profundidad; y siempre teniendo en cuenta que hay que esperar a la negociaci&#243;n final para conocer su alcance real.</p><p></p><p>1. La Caja de Pandora</p><p>Para empezar, conceptualmente hablando, el OD es un intento de demolici&#243;n controlada. Como dice la doctora Laura Caroli, <em>&#8220;they opened the Pandora Box&#8221;,</em> la Comisi&#243;n ha abierto la Caja de Pandora. Reabrir el texto de la Ley de IA apenas unos meses despu&#233;s de un arduo, t&#233;cnicamente dificultoso y pol&#237;ticamente equilibrado acuerdo pol&#237;tico, es una suerte de temeridad. De hecho, pareciera que la alteraci&#243;n del equilibrio ideol&#243;gico del mandato 2019-2024, haya provocado una especie de sensaci&#243;n de oportunidad de revancha para posiciones pro-desregulaci&#243;n m&#225;s extremas. Si eso es as&#237;, se trata de un gran error, porque precisamente el arduo consenso que se alcanz&#243; entonces era no s&#243;lo m&#225;s representativo de una realidad social y pol&#237;tica m&#225;s diversa que una mera coyuntura, sino una garant&#237;a de estabilidad y seguridad jur&#237;dica a largo plazo. </p><p>Por si esto fuera poco, esta propuesta se hace, adem&#225;s, teniendo en cuenta un ajustad&#237;simo cronograma (ese 1 de agosto como fecha de entrada en vigor de obligaciones de alto riesgo), a riesgo de generar alternativamente un caos si no se llega en tiempo a ese t&#233;rmino. De hecho, la Comisi&#243;n ni siquiera ha cumplido sus propios plazos para publicar las directrices y gu&#237;as de cumplimiento, imprescindibles para facilitar el cumplimiento de unas reglas complejas; parece que ya han descontado el resultado de los tr&#237;logos. O yo o el caos.</p><p>2. El ataque a la Ilustraci&#243;n Digital.</p><p>Vayamos a algo que ya para m&#237; era un cap&#237;tulo deficientemente cerrado en el texto original y que si merec&#237;a algo, era su mejora. La ilustraci&#243;n digital, es la herramienta m&#225;s importante que tenemos como sociedad y como individuos para adaptarnos y aprovechar, en equidad, las oportunidades que devienen de la revoluci&#243;n digital; para protegernos de sus riesgos m&#225;s importantes. &#201;sta no se puede sustituir por leyes, organismos p&#250;blicos de control o mecanismos de autorregulaci&#243;n privada.</p><p>En el RIA, la alfabetizaci&#243;n en IA era una obligaci&#243;n de las empresas y un derecho de los trabajadores que tendr&#237;an que usar esos sistemas; adem&#225;s de un derecho ciudadano en diferido: si una abogada, un m&#233;dico o un operario de una f&#225;brica de juguetes va a usar una herramienta de alto riesgo, tiene el derecho y la obligaci&#243;n de saber qu&#233; tiene entre manos. </p><p>En la propuesta ya no hay que &#8220;garantizar&#8221;, se transforma en una responsabilidad evanescente de la Comisi&#243;n y de los Estados miembros, quienes &#8220;deber&#225;n fomentar&#8221; que los proveedores y desplegadores tomen dichas medidas, mediante oportunidades de formaci&#243;n y recursos informativos, en lugar de ser un mandato legal directo para la empresa. </p><p>3. El Caballo de Troya: Pymes y &#8220;<em>Small Mid-caps&#8221;</em></p><p>&#191;Qui&#233;n puede objetar ayudar a las peque&#241;as y medianas empresas (pymes) para el cumplimiento de las obligaciones del RIA? Para eso, entre otras cosas, estaban dise&#241;adas las gu&#237;as y directrices. Pero no se trata de eso, sino de que a partir de ahora se les aplique un r&#233;gimen simplificado y sumario que la ley reservaba para las microempresas (menos de 10 empleados). Y no s&#243;lo eso, la realidad es que han metido por la puerta de atr&#225;s a las <em>Small Mid-caps</em> (empresas de entre 250 y 749 empleados, y facturaci&#243;n de hasta 150 millones de euros, de acuerdo a la Recomendaci&#243;n 2025/1099 de la Comisi&#243;n).</p><p>Y bien, en la Uni&#243;n Europea (UE), si sumamos pymes y estas <em>mid-caps (empresas peque&#241;as de mediana capitalizaci&#243;n )</em>, estamos hablando de m&#225;s del 99% del tejido empresarial. Ya no solo el r&#233;gimen simplificado de las microempresas se extiende a las pymes, sino que tiene vocaci&#243;n de generalidad y no de excepci&#243;n.</p><p>Hemos creado una ley &#8220;general&#8221; que, en la pr&#225;ctica, solo se le aplica de forma estricta a menos del 1% de las empresas; un r&#233;gimen de excepci&#243;n tan masivo que la regla general se convierte en la an&#233;cdota. Y veremos si no se trata al final de un incentivo para que las grandes corporaciones fragmenten sus departamentos de IA en filiales que califiquen como <em>Small Mid-caps,</em> para intentar colarse por ese r&#233;gimen simplificado.</p><p></p><p>4. El fin de la Aplicaci&#243;n Horizontal.</p><p>Este es el punto conceptualmente m&#225;s profundo y donde la propuesta se ha acomodado a las presiones de algunos lobbies de una forma m&#225;s notoria. El plan es mover todos los productos del Anexo IA (ascensores, juguetes, maquinaria) al sistema del Anexo IB. As&#237;, la Ley de IA deja de aplicarse directamente a estos sectores y se convierte en un espectro que vaga por la casa, pero sin corporeidad alguna.</p><p>En lugar de tener est&#225;ndares europeos comunes y transparentes, La Comisi&#243;n Europea (ol&#233; por la reserva de ley) dictar&#225; reglas espec&#237;ficas para cada sector por separado, lo que provocar&#225; la fragmentaci&#243;n total. Tendremos una IA para dispositivos m&#233;dicos, otra distinta para coches y otra para marcapasos, (probablemente con est&#225;ndares de seguridad diferentes, dependiendo de la capacidad de presi&#243;n de cada sector).</p><p>5. Prohibici&#243;n de la &#8220;IA del desnudo&#8221;: nueva categor&#237;a no prevista inicialmente en el OD.</p><p>Tanto Parlamento como Consejo la incluyen en sus posiciones como elemento adicional, pero no contemplado en la propuesta del OD inicial. Sin duda, es una respuesta pol&#237;tica ante el esc&#225;ndalo (justificado) que gener&#243; GROK, posteriormente a la presentaci&#243;n de la propuesta por la Comisi&#243;n.</p><p>La propuesta es prohibir el hecho de generar o manipular im&#225;genes y v&#237;deos mediante IA generativa, en las que la persona implicada sea identificable, que pueda ser una imagen/v&#237;deo de partes &#237;ntimas, o de esa persona participando en actividades sexualmente expl&#237;citas, y que no exista consentimiento acreditable y comprobable. Es el proveedor el que debe establecer medidas para prevenir dicha generaci&#243;n.</p><p>El Consejo a&#241;adi&#243; una prohibici&#243;n espec&#237;fica del CSAM (material de abuso sexual infantil), excepto cuando lo utilicen las fuerzas del orden para infiltrarse en redes de abuso. La prohibici&#243;n cubre la generaci&#243;n de este contenido cuando sea el prop&#243;sito previsto del sistema o incluso un resultado razonablemente previsible si faltan medidas de prevenci&#243;n.</p><p>Se a&#241;aden excepciones, como el desnudo parcial, contenido art&#237;stico o sat&#237;rico, o im&#225;genes poco realistas. </p><p>6. Art&#237;culo 50, transparencia del contenido generado por IA:</p><p>Conectado con lo anterior, nos hallamos ante la propuesta m&#225;s dif&#237;cil de entender desde mi punto de vista. Se propone una moratoria de varios meses para el cumplimiento de la obligaci&#243;n del etiquetado de productos de IA generativa (incluidos deepfakes), para los sistemas que ya est&#225;n operando en el mercado (todos los conocidos).  Todo ello justificado por imposibilidades actuales para el cumplimiento  por cuestiones t&#233;cnicas. Como si en un pu&#241;ado de meses esto fuera a cambiar sustancialmente&#8230;</p><p>7. Conclusi&#243;n.</p><p>Acudo de nuevo al profesor Llano para mi conclusi&#243;n, que es la suya y yo comparto: &#8220;El &#243;mnibus digital no es el fin del modelo europeo de IA, es su primera prueba de estr&#233;s y el resultado es inquietante&#8221;</p><p>El panorama que dibuja este &#211;mnibus es el de una Europa que ha tenido miedo de su propia ambici&#243;n human&#237;stica. Pasamos de liderar en el mundo con una ley &#233;tica y robusta, alardeando adem&#225;s de ello y defendiendo nuestros equilibrios con convicci&#243;n, a enmendarnos a nosotros mismos sin siquiera haber tenido la gallard&#237;a de intentarlo.</p><p>La seguridad jur&#237;dica y generalidad que promet&#237;a la Ley de IA, se cambia por un modelo fragmentado, en el que la Comisi&#243;n tendr&#225; un poder discrecional inmenso. Hemos cambiado un zumo de naranja reci&#233;n exprimido, por un ins&#237;pido suced&#225;neo.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img"

length="0" type="image/jpeg"/><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When we talk about the paradigm shift that involves mass digitalization and artificial intelligence general deployment, we tend to talk about the future and not, the truth is that we should talk about the most immediate present. Here we have the first announcement of a deceased Hollywood star, whose heirs have agreed to facilitate his reproduction by AI for more than a mere cameo, supposedly respecting the will of the actor (it is known that Val Kilmer wanted to star in this film in life, but nothing is expressed about this exceptional situation).<br><br>What does the (to be) regulation addressing this issue say regarding the use of AI for the use of voice or post morten image for artistic purposes? In general, all agree to prohibit it except express authorization of the deceased OR HIS HEIRS.<br><br>As examples, some well-known bills on the subject:<br><br>- Denmark's bill requires "express consent" for the use of realistic digitally generated imitations and extends this protection up to 50 years after the holder's death. By prolonging the right after death, the rule in practice refers to heirs or legal representatives the power to grant or deny such consent during that half-century.<br><br>- In Mexico, an initiative to reform the Federal Copyright Law stipulates that it is "intellectual property rights holders" who can oppose the cloning or reproduction of their voices through <strong><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/search/results/all/?keywords=%23ai&amp;origin=HASH_TAG_FROM_FEED">#AI</a></strong> . After death, the ownership of these rights rests with their heirs.<br><br>- Tennessee law (<strong><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/search/results/all/?keywords=%23elvisact&amp;origin=HASH_TAG_FROM_FEED">#ELVISAct</a></strong> - by far my favorite name of a law ever), addresses the issue by turning voice and image into an explicitly inheritable property right, leaving legal control and commercial authorization exclusively to the estate (estate) or heirs of the deceased artist.<br><br>- The most prominent case is that of the Preliminary Draft Organic Law on the Civil Protection of the Right to Honor, Personal and Family Privacy and Spain's Own Image. This future rule extends the protection of deceased persons by incorporating the possibility for the person himself to expressly prohibit by will (or through a person designated for it in life) the use of his image or voice for commercial or similar purposes after his death. This means that the deceased&#8217;s previously expressed wishes prevail and constitute a legal limitation, preventing the heirs from giving consent where the will contains a prohibition.<br><br>For my part, I find it hard to accept that a lead actor&#8217;s image and voice in a film should be treated in the same way as other post-mortem authorizations left to the heirs&#8217; discretion, given all the implications this entails. </p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!b9s9!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fef7525fc-cd5e-4e28-9359-20a2982d8f04_424x558.jpeg" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!b9s9!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fef7525fc-cd5e-4e28-9359-20a2982d8f04_424x558.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!b9s9!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fef7525fc-cd5e-4e28-9359-20a2982d8f04_424x558.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!b9s9!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fef7525fc-cd5e-4e28-9359-20a2982d8f04_424x558.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!b9s9!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fef7525fc-cd5e-4e28-9359-20a2982d8f04_424x558.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!b9s9!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fef7525fc-cd5e-4e28-9359-20a2982d8f04_424x558.jpeg" width="424" height="558" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/ef7525fc-cd5e-4e28-9359-20a2982d8f04_424x558.jpeg&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:558,&quot;width&quot;:424,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:64572,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:false,&quot;topImage&quot;:true,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:&quot;https://www.ibangarciadb.com/i/191675833?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fef7525fc-cd5e-4e28-9359-20a2982d8f04_424x558.jpeg&quot;,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!b9s9!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fef7525fc-cd5e-4e28-9359-20a2982d8f04_424x558.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!b9s9!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fef7525fc-cd5e-4e28-9359-20a2982d8f04_424x558.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!b9s9!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fef7525fc-cd5e-4e28-9359-20a2982d8f04_424x558.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!b9s9!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fef7525fc-cd5e-4e28-9359-20a2982d8f04_424x558.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw" fetchpriority="high"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg role="img" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><title></title><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a></figure></div><p>What do you think?</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[PELÍCULAS POST MORTEN]]></title><description><![CDATA[El reciente anuncio de una pel&#237;cula que contar&#225;

En t&#233;rminos generales, existe un amplio consenso en prohibirlo, salvo autorizaci&#243;n expresa del fallecido o de sus herederos.</p><p>Algunos ejemplos de iniciativas legislativas bien conocidas en esta materia:</p><ul><li><p>El proyecto de ley de Dinamarca exige &#8220;consentimiento expreso&#8221; para el uso de imitaciones realistas generadas digitalmente y extiende esta protecci&#243;n hasta 50 a&#241;os despu&#233;s de la muerte del titular. Al prolongar el derecho tras el fallecimiento, la norma remite en la pr&#225;ctica a los herederos o representantes legales la facultad de otorgar o denegar ese consentimiento durante ese medio siglo.</p></li><li><p>En M&#233;xico, una iniciativa de reforma de la Ley Federal del Derecho de Autor establece que son los &#8220;titulares de los derechos de propiedad intelectual&#8221; quienes pueden oponerse a la clonaci&#243;n o reproducci&#243;n de sus voces mediante #IA. Tras la muerte, la titularidad de esos derechos recae en sus herederos.</p></li><li><p>La ley de Tennessee (ELVIS Act &#8212;mi nombre de ley favorito ever&#8212;), aborda esta cuesti&#243;n al convertir expresamente la voz y la imagen en un derecho patrimonial transmisible por herencia, dejando el control jur&#237;dico y la autorizaci&#243;n comercial exclusivamente en manos del patrimonio hereditario (<em>estate</em>) o de los herederos del artista fallecido.</p></li><li><p>El caso m&#225;s destacado es el del Anteproyecto de Ley Org&#225;nica de protecci&#243;n civil del derecho al honor, a la intimidad personal y familiar y a la propia imagen en Espa&#241;a. Esta futura norma refuerza la protecci&#243;n de las personas fallecidas al incorporar la posibilidad de que sea la propia persona quien proh&#237;ba expresamente en testamento &#8212;o a trav&#233;s de una persona designada en vida&#8212; el uso de su imagen o de su voz con fines comerciales o an&#225;logos tras su fallecimiento. Es decir, la voluntad manifestada previamente por el fallecido prevalece y opera como un l&#237;mite jur&#237;dico, impidiendo que los herederos puedan consentir ese uso cuando exista una prohibici&#243;n expresa.</p></li></ul><p>Por mi parte, me cuesta aceptar que la imagen y la voz de un actor protagonista en una pel&#237;cula deban recibir el mismo tratamiento que otras autorizaciones <em>post mortem</em> dejadas a la discreci&#243;n de los herederos, teniendo en cuenta todas las implicaciones que ello conlleva. </p><p>&#191;Qu&#233; opin&#225;is?</p><div

Volvemos a Corea del Sur para seguir desmontando lugares comunes.</p><p>La industria musical surcoreana ha declarado oficialmente la guerra a la infracci&#243;n de derechos de autor por parte de la IA. Este movimiento no es un hecho aislado; representa un punto de inflexi&#243;n en el creciente conflicto global entre las industrias creativas y los desarrolladores de IA generativa por el scraping de datos no autorizado para el entrenamiento de modelos. Estamos viendo choques legales y regulatorios similares en todo el mundo: Europa, EE. UU., China (con fallos recientes sobre contenidos generados por IA), India o Canad&#225;.</p><p>En Corea del Sur, este movimiento est&#225; liderado por una nueva alianza sin precedentes: el Comit&#233; de Crecimiento Mutuo de Organizaciones de Derechos de la K-Music. Esta coalici&#243;n une a toda la cadena de derechos de la industria, integrando a seis de las organizaciones m&#225;s importantes del pa&#237;s.</p><p>Bajo el lema &#8220;En la era de la IA, declaramos la noble soberan&#237;a de la creaci&#243;n humana&#8221;, han presentado tres peticiones espec&#237;ficas para proteger a los creadores frente al "gran capital y los algoritmos":</p><p> * Prohibici&#243;n del entrenamiento de IA sin el consentimiento expl&#237;cito de los creadores.</p><p> * Transparencia obligatoria en los procesos de generaci&#243;n de la IA.</p><p> * Est&#225;ndares claros que distingan las obras creadas por humanos de los resultados generados por m&#225;quinas.</p><p>M&#225;s all&#225; de estas demandas, la coalici&#243;n ha decidido dejar de responder a los retos de la IA de forma individual, estableciendo un grupo de trabajo conjunto y un sistema de negociaci&#243;n de ventanilla &#250;nica.</p><p>Su ambici&#243;n a largo plazo es posicionar a Corea del Sur como el "rule maker" (creador de reglas) global mediante la construcci&#243;n de un "K-Copyright Standard Model" (&#191;est&#225;n escuchando en la Comisi&#243;n Europea?). Para lograrlo, planean desarrollar una infraestructura integrada basada en blockchain que consolide los datos de derechos actualmente fragmentados.</p><p>Este sistema vincular&#225; c&#243;digos de identificaci&#243;n global (como el ISWC para composiciones e ISRC para grabaciones) con el Content ID de YouTube y el Identificador Universal de Contenidos (UCI) de Corea del Sur, permitiendo rastrear, recaudar y distribuir regal&#237;as de manera efectiva y en tiempo real.</p><blockquote><p>No es de extra&#241;ar que Corea del Sur, donde la cultura se reconoce como un activo estrat&#233;gico para su econom&#237;a (solo el K-POP representa cerca del 1% de su PIB), se est&#233; moviendo en la direcci&#243;n correcta; mi problema es entender por qu&#233; Europa no lo hace.</p></blockquote><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

And yes, go back to South Korea to vanquish common places again.<br><br>The South Korean music industry has officially declared 'war' on AI copyright infrigment. And this move is not an isolated incident; it represents a tipping point in the rapidly escalating global conflict between creative industries and Generative AI developers over unauthorized data scraping and model training. We are seeing similar legal and regulatory clashes erupting across the Globe, like in Europe, USA, China (with recent rulings on AI outputs and copyright), India, or Canada.<br><br>In South Korea, the movement against AI copyright infringement is being spearheaded by a newly formed, unprecedented coalition called the K-Music Rights Organization Mutual Growth Committee, that involves the entire rights chain of the music industry, uniting six major organizations.<br><br>They issued a joint declaration titled &#8220;In the AI era, we declare the noble sovereignty of human creation&#8221;. In it, they outline three specific demands to protect creators from "big capital and algorithms":<br><br>1.- A ban on unauthorized AI training without the explicit consent of the creators.<br><br>2.- Mandatory transparency in AI generation processes.<br><br>3.- Clear standards that distinguish human-created works from AI-generated outputs.<br><br>Beyond these immediate demands, the coalition has agreed to stop responding to AI challenges individually and has established a joint AI response task force and a single-window negotiation system. Their broader, long-term ambition is to position South Korea as the global "rule maker" by building a "K-Copyright Standard Model" (Do you listen, European Commision?). To achieve this, they plan to develop a blockchain-based integrated infrastructure that consolidates fragmented rights data. This system will link global identification codes (such as ISWC for compositions and ISRC for sound recordings) with YouTube's Content ID and South Korea's Universal Content Identifier (UCI) to effectively track, collect, and distribute royalties in real time.</p><p>No wonder why South Korea, whre culture is acknowledge as an strategic asset for their economy (just K-POP represents about 1% or their GDP) is moving in the right direction, my problem is to understand why not Europe.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img"

El pasado mes se ha ca&#237;do otro t&#243;pico, en cuanto a que Asia &#8220;no regula&#8221; en IA, en busca de un desarrollo tecnol&#243;gico que, por supuesto, nunca es compatible con garantizar derechos fundamentales.</p><p>Pues bien, ya no son s&#243;lo China o Vietnam, el panorama asi&#225;tico de la gobernanza de la inteligencia artificial acaba alumbrar un hito decisivo. Este enero, entr&#243; en vigor la Ley Marco sobre el Desarrollo de la Inteligencia Artificial y el Establecimiento de Confianza de Corea del Sur. Y, al analizar el texto, es imposible no pensar en el &#8220;Efecto Bruselas&#8221;: la arquitectura de la ley coreana refleja, en gran medida, los pilares fundamentales del Reglamento Europeo de Inteligencia Artificial.</p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.ibangarciadb.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Thanks for reading El Substack de Ib&#225;n!

La Clasificaci&#243;n: La ley introduce el concepto de &#8220;<em>High-Impact AI</em>&#8221;. La definici&#243;n es sorprendentemente similar a la europea, abarcando sistemas que afectan la vida humana, la seguridad o los derechos fundamentales en &#225;reas como la energ&#237;a, la salud, el transporte, las evaluaciones de empleo y decisiones gubernamentales&#8230; Como en Europa, se exige a los proveedores de estos sistemas medidas reforzadas de seguridad, fiabilidad y gesti&#243;n de riesgos antes de su despliegue.</p><p>2. Transparencia: La Ley coreana obliga a etiquetar el contenido generado artificialmente, se exige que los operadores notifiquen a los usuarios cuando interact&#250;an con IA Generativa o cuando consumen contenido que podr&#237;a confundirse con la realidad (audio, imagen, video).</p><p>3. Gobernanza y Supervisi&#243;n Institucional: Corea instituye el Comit&#233; Nacional de IA, encargado de deliberar pol&#237;ticas clave, y crea un (<em>AI Safety Research Institute</em> para definir riesgos y est&#225;ndares t&#233;cnicos.</p><p>4. Alcance extraterritorial y obligaci&#243;n de representaci&#243;n local: La Ley coreana se aplica expl&#237;citamente a actos realizados en el extranjero que afecten al mercado nacional o a los usuarios en Corea, un espejo del alcance del Reglamento de la UE, que afecta a proveedores de terceros pa&#237;ses si la salida de su sistema se utiliza en la Uni&#243;n. Corea exige, adem&#225;s, que los operadores de IA sin domicilio en Corea designen un &#8220;Representante Dom&#233;stico&#8221; para actuar de enlace con el gobierno.</p><p>5. Ilustraci&#243;n digital: La ley coreana pone un fuerte &#233;nfasis en la educaci&#243;n como soporte para la &#8220;Sociedad de IA&#8221;. El gobierno debe establecer pol&#237;ticas para la educaci&#243;n y promoci&#243;n de una &#8220;sociedad de IA segura y confiable&#8221; y la pr&#225;ctica de la &#233;tica de la IA. Se contemplan proyectos de educaci&#243;n para mejorar la conciencia sobre el desarrollo seguro de la IA, as&#237; como apoyo educativo espec&#237;fico para ejecutivos y empleados de peque&#241;as y medianas empresas (PyMEs) para la introducci&#243;n y utilizaci&#243;n de tecnolog&#237;a.</p><p>6. R&#233;gimen sancionador: Corea plantea para las empresas que no cumplan con las disposiciones establecidas, principalmente multas administrativas y &#243;rdenes correctivas, m&#225;s bajas en general que las europeas, pero tambi&#233;n existen sanciones penales espec&#237;ficas para la violaci&#243;n de confidencialidad (en esto va mucho m&#225;s all&#225; que la AI Act).</p><p>Es cierto que, que la Ley coreana contempla muchas medidas pro industria y desarrollo, de las que carece la Ley europea (con la excepci&#243;n del sistema de sandboxes), pero tambi&#233;n lo es que la UE est&#225; impulsando sus planes estrat&#233;gicos de inversi&#243;n y desarrollo mediante otras figuras (como el Plan de IA para el Continente).</p><p>&#191;Estamos viendo el nacimiento de un consenso regulatorio global en IA, del que s&#243;lo parece quedarse fuera el Gobierno Federal de EEUU? A ver si somos los europeos los &#250;nicos que nos hemos cre&#237;do la cantinela de Silicon Valley acerca de nuestra &#8220;sobrerregulaci&#243;n&#8221; en IA&#8230;</p><div

The Classification: The Korean law introduces the concept of &#8216;High-Impact AI&#8217;. The definition is strikingly similar to the European High Risk one, covering systems that affect human life, safety or fundamental rights in areas such as energy, health, transport, employment assessments and government decisions... As in Europe, providers of these systems are required to take enhanced safety, reliability and risk management measures before deployment.</p><p>2. Transparency: Korean law requires labeling of artificially generated content, and requiring operators to notify users when they interact with Generative AI or when they consume content that could be confused with reality (audio, image, video).</p><p>3. Governance and Institutional Supervision: Korea institutes the &#8220;National AI Committee&#8221;, tasked with deliberating key policies, and creates an &#8220;AI Safety Research Institute&#8221; to define risks and technical standards.</p><p>4. Extraterritorial scope and obligation of local representation: The Korean law explicitly applies to acts performed abroad that affect the domestic market or users in Korea, a mirror of the scope of the EU Regulation, which affects third-country suppliers if the exit from their system is used in the EU. Korea further requires that AI operators without a home in Korea designate a &#8220;Domestic Representative&#8221; to act as a liaison with the government.</p><p>5. Digital Literacy: Korean law places a strong emphasis on education as a support for the &#8220;AI Society&#8221;. The Government should establish policies for the education and promotion of a &#8220;safe and trustworthy AI society&#8221; and the practice of AI ethics. Education projects are envisaged to improve awareness about the safe development of AI, as well as specific educational support for executives and employees of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) for the introduction and use of technology.</p><p>6. Penalty regime: Korea raises, for companies that do not comply with the established provisions, mainly administrative fines and corrective orders, lower in general than European ones; but there are also specific criminal sanctions for the breach of confidentiality (in this it goes much further than the AI Act).</p><p>It is true that the Korean Law contemplates many pro bussines and development measures that the European Law lacks (with the exception of the sandbox system), but it is also true that the EU is promoting its strategic investment and development plans through other figures (such as the AI Continental Plan).</p><p>Are we seeing the birth of a global regulatory consensus in AI, which only the US Federal Government seems to be left out of? </p><p>Let&#8217;s see if we Europeans are the only ones who have believed the Silicom Valley tale about our &#8220;over-regulation&#8221; in AI... </p><p></p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2

Could you please provide the name of your street so we may proceed? Click on the arrow and the complete dossier will unfold&#8230;&#8221;</em></p><p>&#8220;Oh for&#8230;&#8212;give me a phone number where I can talk to an actual human being!&#8221;</p><p><em>&#8220;I am very sorry that this process is proving stressful.

I&#8217;ve spent forty minutes trying to get one to come, and this is the first that hasn&#8217;t cancelled halfway through. You know they never wait for you&#8212;let&#8217;s go, now.&#8221;</p><p>&#8220;I curse the algorithm and your digital &#8216;please come back later&#8217;!&#8221;</p><p><em>&#8220;It deeply saddens me that you feel I am not being sufficiently helpf&#8230;&#8212;&#8221;</em></p><p>The violent slam of the laptop screen cut short the carefully modulated prosody of an artificial intelligence trained on the finest examples of courtesy that vast amounts of world literature could offer (trained for free, of course).</p><p>The couple grabbed their coats and bolted, slamming the door behind them. They hurled themselves down the stairwell, racing the two floors that separated them from the street, their stampede adding yet more noise to the building.</p><p>&#8220;Easy&#8212;breathe,&#8221; Joel said once inside the taxi. &#8220;It&#8217;s stressful, I know, but you&#8217;ve seen how the theatre entrance gets for the Christmas Ballet. This year there&#180;re facial recognition devices, so it should be smoother. In theory.&#8221;</p><p>Indeed, the Christmas Ballet traditionally marked the symbolic opening of the city&#8217;s festive season, and this year expectations were particularly high thanks to JUNO&#8217;s new score for <em>The Bitcracker</em>. The owners of the AI engine had been teasing audiences for months, increasingly stingy with their output: barely one hundred thousand musical compositions released that year.</p><p>They were still far from their destination when a velvety, late-night-radio voice emerged from the driver&#8217;s area:</p><p><em>&#8220;I regret to inform you, Mr. Hariri, that we have been unable to verify whether your insurance policy is currently valid. While we cross-check the data and attempt verification again, I must immobilize the vehicle, for your safety and that of its occupants. We apologize for the inconvenience.&#8221;</em></p><p>The taxi came to a gentle halt as the driver erupted into a torrent of curses in several languages, pounding the dashboard in rage.</p><p>&#8220;Damn it&#8212;come on, we&#8217;ll have to run. We&#8217;re still miles away!&#8221;</p><p>One flung open the door to the pavement, dragging the other by the arm. They leapt out without looking back and pushed forward as best they could, though hurrying was difficult amid the dense crowd of evening pedestrians.</p><p>The streets were already ablaze with Christmas lights&#8212;and with drones, tracing festive shapes and Christmas figures above the crowd. A crash of breaking glass rang out nearby, followed by screams; a drone had veered off course and smashed into a shop window. A <strong>CARE</strong> (<strong>C</strong>ognitive <strong>A</strong>utonomous <strong>R</strong>esponse <strong>E</strong>nvironment) forced its way through the crowd toward the accident:</p><p><em>&#8220;Please allow me to pass so I may assist. We deeply regret this unfortunate error, though we remind you that the reliability rate of autonomous drone operations remains extremely high.&#8221;</em></p><p>&#8220;They can say what they like, but these robots still give me the creeps. You don&#8217;t see a single police officer anywhere anymore.&#8221;</p><p>&#8220;Come on&#8212;move it. Forget about it, or we really won&#8217;t make it.&#8221;</p><p>In front of the theatre, a tightly packed crowd was protesting and shoving its way toward the entrance. Theatre staff stood beside the biometric identification machines, apparently idle, trying to form orderly queues, though progress was painfully slow.</p><p>Joel spotted a friend in the crowd and pushed toward her, pulling his husband along.</p><p>&#8220;What&#8217;s going on? Why is this such chaos?&#8221;</p><p>&#8220;Joel! From what people are saying, the machines started malfunctioning for certain people, creating bottlenecks. Apparently, the less white and male you were, the more they failed. They had to bring out the humans still working here. There aren&#8217;t many, and it took a while, but people are finally getting in.&#8221;</p><p>After some time, they found themselves inside the building at last.</p><p>&#8220;Nedd, our seats are right by the stage. Please ask one of the FRIEND - (<strong>F</strong>unctional <strong>R</strong>obotic <strong>I</strong>nterface for <strong>E</strong>ntry &amp; <strong>N</strong>avigation <strong>D</strong>irectives)&#8212;where exactly we&#8217;re supposed to go.&#8221;</p><p>&#8220;Actually, I think I can manage on my own, if you don&#8217;t mind.&#8221;</p><p>Indeed, they found their seats on the first try. They sat down and left their coats on the floor.</p><p><em>&#8220;We regret interrupting your interesting conversations and other waiting activities, but we kindly request that you take your seats. The good news is that the performance is about to begin. From our calibrated mechanisms, we wish you an enjoyable performance&#8221;,</em> the loudspeakers announced.</p><p>Immediately, the lights dimmed, the curtain rose, and the long-awaited performance began. There were the dancers of <em>Custom Dynamics</em>, performing acrobatics to music played by no orchestra at all, but streamed directly through the sound system.</p><p>The show opened with a playful comic piece in which a human ballerina attempted to imitate the mechanical dancers, much to the audience&#8217;s delight and laughs.</p><p>&#8220;They can say whatever they want, but I find this humiliating. And doesn&#8217;t this music sound like a hundred others we&#8217;ve heard before? What&#8217;s so special about it?&#8221;</p><p>&#8220;SSSSHHHHH. STOP TALKING. WE CAN&#8217;T EVEN HEAR OURSELVES LAUGH.&#8221;</p><p>Nedd fell silent, closed his eyes, and made a fervent wish for what he hoped the Three Wise Men would bring him that year.</p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.ibangarciadb.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Thanks for reading El Substack de Ib&#225;n!

Que llevo 40 minutos intentando que venga y &#233;ste es el primero que no me cancela a medio camino; ya sabes que luego ellos no te esperan, tenemos que bajar ya.</p><p>- &#161;Maldigo diez veces el algoritmo que te crio y al vuelva usted ma&#241;ana digital!</p><p><em>&#8220;Me entristece profundamente que entienda que no le estoy ayudando lo suficien&#8230;&#8221;</em></p><p>El golpe de la pantalla del port&#225;til al ser cerrado violentamente, interrumpi&#243; la prosodia de una inteligencia artificial entrenada con los mejores contenidos que la literatura universal de la cortes&#237;a pod&#237;a facilitar (entrenada gratis, por supuesto).</p><p>La pareja cogi&#243; los abrigos y ech&#243; a correr, cerrando la puerta de la casa con violencia. Abalanz&#225;ndose sobre la escalera para bajar los dos pisos que les separaban de la calle, provocaron a&#250;n m&#225;s ruido en su estampida.</p><p>- &#161;Buf, respira! -, dijo Joel ya en el taxi. - Es todo un gran estr&#233;s, pero ya sabes c&#243;mo se pone la entrada del teatro para el Ballet de Navidad. A ver si este a&#241;o, que va por reconocimiento facial, todo es m&#225;s &#225;gil, no obstante.</p><p>Efectivamente, el Ballet de Navidad siempre daba apertura simb&#243;lica a las Fiestas en la ciudad y, este a&#241;o, hab&#237;a gran expectaci&#243;n con la nueva partitura de JUNO para El Lago de los Drones. Los due&#241;os del motor de IA hab&#237;an jugado con las ganas de los oyentes, y &#250;ltimamente hab&#237;an optado por no prodigarse tanto, con tan solo 100.000 piezas musicales nuevas publicadas este a&#241;o.</p><p>No estaban ni cerca de su destino, cuando una melodiosa voz proveniente de la zona del conductor, como de programa de radio de media noche, comenz&#243; a hablar: &#8220;<em>Cu&#225;nto lo lamento, se&#241;or Hariri, pero hemos sido incapaces de comprobar si su p&#243;liza de seguro est&#225; en vigor. En tanto cruzamos los datos y lo volvemos a comprobar, debo inmovilizar su veh&#237;culo, por su seguridad y por la de sus ocupantes. Disculpe las molestias&#8221;.</em></p><p>El taxi se detuvo pl&#225;cidamente, en tanto que el taxista se convert&#237;a en un mar de increpaciones en varios idiomas, mientras golpeaba repetidamente el salpicadero.</p><p>- &#161;No me jod&#8230;vamos, que nos toca correr, que todav&#237;a estamos lejos!</p><p>Uno abri&#243; la puerta que daba a la acera, mientras tiraba del brazo del otro. Los dos salieron del coche sin mirar atr&#225;s y comenzaron a avanzar como pod&#237;an, costaba darse prisa con la acumulaci&#243;n de viandantes de esas horas. Las calles estaban iluminadas ya, con las luces de Navidad y con las de los drones, que realizaban escorzos y figuras navide&#241;as por encima de los viandantes. Son&#243; un ruido de cristales rotos cerca y la gente comenz&#243; a gritar en un lado de la v&#237;a; al parecer, un dron equivoc&#243; su rumbo y se hab&#237;a estrellado contra un escaparate. Un AMOR (Asistente Motorizado Operativo Rob&#243;tico) se abr&#237;a paso entre la multitud hacia el lugar del siniestro: &#8220;<em>por favor, perm&#237;tanme pasar para poder ayudar. Cu&#225;nto lamentamos este triste error, pero recuerden que la tasa de fiabilidad del operativo de drones aut&#243;nomos es muy alta&#8221; &#8230;</em></p><p>- Dir&#225;n lo que quieran, pero a m&#237; los robots estos me siguen dando mal rollo. Es que ya no ves un guardia urbano en ninguna parte.</p><p>- &#161;Venga, tira y olv&#237;date de esto, que no llegamos!</p><p>Lo cierto es que frente al teatro hab&#237;a una multitud arracimada, protestando y empujando para entrar. Unos empleados del teatro estaban situados a lado de las m&#225;quinas de identificaci&#243;n biom&#233;trica, al parecer sin uso. Intentaban formar colas ordenadas, aunque el proceso parec&#237;a ir lento.</p><p>Joel reconoci&#243; a una amiga entre la multitud e hizo por acercarse entre empujones, tirando de su marido hacia delante.</p><p>- &#191;Pero qu&#233; pasa, qu&#233; es este caos?</p><p>- &#161;Joel! Pues por lo que cuentan, las m&#225;quinas empezaron a fallar con alguna gente, formando tapones. Dicen por aqu&#237; que cada vez que no eran varones blancos, fallaban m&#225;s que una escopeta de feria. Han tenido que salir los humanos que siguen trabajando en el teatro. Son pocos y les ha costado, pero parece que la gente ya empieza a entrar.</p><p>Despu&#233;s de un tiempo, se hallaron por fin dentro del edificio.</p><p>- Nedd, tenemos los sitios al lado del escenario, pregunta por favor a uno de los AMIGOs (Acomodadores Mec&#225;nicos que con Inmenso Gusto Operan) d&#243;nde es exactamente.</p><p>- Mira, creo que s&#233; yo llegar por m&#237; mismo, si no te importa.</p><p>Efectivamente, acertaron a la primera. Se sentaron y dejaron sus abrigos en el suelo.</p><p><em>&#8220;Cu&#225;nto lamentamos interrumpir sus conversaciones u otras actividades de espera en las que se hallen, pero debemos rogarles que tomen asiento.

Ah&#237; estaban los bailarines de &#8220;Custom Dynamics&#8221;, haciendo acrobacias al ritmo de una m&#250;sica que ninguna orquesta interpretaba, sino que se exped&#237;a directamente por los altavoces.</p><p>La representaci&#243;n comenzaba con una divertida pieza c&#243;mica en la que una bailarina humana, trataba de emular a los danzarines mec&#225;nicos, lo que provocaba las risas del respetable.</p><p>- Mira, dir&#225;n lo que quieran, pero a m&#237; esto me resulta humillante. Adem&#225;s, &#191;no te suena esta m&#250;sica a otras muchas de antes? &#191;Qu&#233; tiene esto de especial?</p><p>- SSSSSSSSHHHHH, DEJE DE HABLAR, QUE NOS NOS O&#205;MOS REIR.</p><p>Nedd se call&#243;, cerr&#243; los ojos y dese&#243; muy fuerte lo que quer&#237;a que le trajeran los Reyes Magos ese a&#241;o.</p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.ibangarciadb.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Thanks for reading El Substack de Ib&#225;n!
