A no-smoke-and-mirrors story of how Alfonso de Lucas (CIO, Grupo Arpada) and Víctor Rodríguez (Leading Researcher, MIT &amp; UPM) turned a company’s lack of AI knowledge into a clear strategy — and are now full steam ahead. We will also discuss the current state of AI and its future from a practical, industry-focused perspective.

**Speakers:**

- **Alfonso de Lucas David** — Chief Information Officer, Grupo Arpada
- **Víctor Rodríguez Fernández** — Associate Professor, Universidad Politécnica de Madrid; Research Affiliate, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
