El Mundo profiles Spain's branch of the leaderless global anti-AI activist movement.
- Aurora Gómez joined in April 2023 after news of land expropriation for a mega data center in Talavera de la Reina, echoing her family's forced relocation.
- Miriam Al Adib went viral after her daughter was 'undressed' by an AI app at school and police proved helpless; she posted a denunciation video.
- Illustrator David Rubín and others also mobilized. Activists say "the most catastrophist predictions are being fulfilled ahead of schedule" and stress the movement transcends ideology.
The piece accompanies a feature photo with members of Spanish AI-safety groups including PauseAI España.
