Portuguese government announces regulatory plans for artificial intelligence and unveils multiple data centers across the country.
In a significant move, Portugal's telecommunications regulator, Anacom, has been tasked with overseeing the regulation of the digital area and Artificial Intelligence. This expansion of responsibilities is aimed at ensuring a more comprehensive and cohesive approach to the rapidly evolving digital landscape.
As part of this new role, Anacom is also seeking additional resources to effectively manage the increased scope of its duties. The exact nature and extent of these resources are yet to be determined, but the regulator is actively engaging with relevant stakeholders to ensure a smooth transition.
While specific details about foreign investments in Portuguese data centers for 2025 could not be found in the current search results, there is an anticipation of such announcements in the coming weeks. The Minister of Infrastructure is set to unveil these investments, marking a significant boost for the country's digital infrastructure.
The Minister's announcement is expected to provide more clarity on the companies and public authorities involved in these investments, as well as the locations of the data centers. Traditionally, such announcements are made by the parties themselves at the time of project approval or funding decisions.
This influx of foreign investment, coupled with Anacom's expanded role, is expected to propel Portugal towards the forefront of digital innovation and AI regulation in Europe. The country is already making strides in these areas, and these developments promise to accelerate this progress even further.
As always, more details will be shared as they become available. Stay tuned for updates on this exciting development in Portugal's digital future.
