Among the key topics at the congress were the applications of AI in sectors such as defense, culture, and sports, as well as its relationship with open data. This link is crucial, since open data enhances AI by improving the quality of its models and expanding its analytical capabilities.. In turn, AI allows the processing of large volumes of open data, identifying trends and patterns that facilitate innovative and accessible solutions.

In terms of results, the congress not only extended its duration compared to the 2023 edition, reflecting growing interest, but also It stood out as a benchmark for the development of responsible and efficient artificial intelligence.
