Reacción a "Reactions: the Prime Minister announces the design of a foundational model of an artificial intelligence language trained in Spanish"

I think it is a good proposal. The media coverage of ChatGPT has certainly been a milestone, which was another step forward in the development of AI. But it was just a spearhead, there is a long way to go. ChatGPT models are very generalist and, to get better results, there is a need to move towards more personalised AI. And this is where the Prime Minister's proposal comes in, Large Language Models (LLM) in a specific field: Spanish and extension to Latin American countries, as well as co-official languages. This will undoubtedly require more computational resources, hence the involvement of the Barcelona Supercomputing Centre, possibly the largest in Spain.  

In any case, the people who are currently leading AI in LLMs talk about the need to make the leap, making this technology personalised and distributed. The latter is because the volume of computation required is of such a magnitude that the machines contributing to this cannot be located in a single centre. 

Clearly, this proposal is novel, as there are some timid attempts to tackle this task, but it is of such a magnitude that either governments get involved or it would not be possible. This is not only because of the financial resources involved, but also because access to information for the training of these systems can only be provided by government bodies. 

In terms of difficulties, there is the aforementioned issue of computational resources, but there is also the difficulty of feeding data to the LLM. And this, from a practical point of view, may pose more difficulties, and there may even be legal obstacles to overcome, which will take time.
