In the midst of the debate about the use of AI, there are situations where it is undeniable that its applications and technology in general represent a step forward in quality of life. A clear example is people with visual disabilities, for whom apps or AI glasses allow a broader perception of the world: they serve to read food product labels or describe specific situations when the blind person is alone and needs help. That is why, from ONCE, which these days celebrates the Social Group Week, technology is claimed as a tool to move closer to equality.

Former president José María Aznar has made a call to the responsibility of citizens to defend liberal democracy, which in his opinion is in grave danger due to the attack of the “detestable” right- and left-wing populisms.
