  "account": "Spanish banks are forming alliances with tech companies like OpenAI, Google, and Microsoft to access advanced AI models and stay competitive in innovation. BBVA has a strategic collaboration with OpenAI, providing preferential access to its models, and has also partnered with Amazon Web Services to build a global data and AI platform. Other banks, such as Santander, CaixaBank, and Bankinter, are also forming multiple partnerships to maintain technological sovereignty and avoid dependence on a single provider. The goal is to balance access to cutting-edge technology with the ability to make decisions and maintain control over their systems. This comes amid concerns about the concentration of AI capabilities in a few companies and the risks associated with dependence on external technology.",
  "summary": "The emergence of generative artificial intelligence has led Santander, BBVA, CaixaBank, Sabadell, Bankinter and Unicaja to strengthen their ties with some of the world's largest technology providers.",
