Get on the edge of technology.

Technology Advisor to the European Commission

I provide expert advice to the European Innovation Council of the European Commission under contract since 2019 in Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, and Immersive Technologies.

I regularly carry out European project monitoring, technical due diligence, evaluation of innovation proposals, panels on European emerging technologies, EU think tank surveys, and expert advice to the European Parliament, among other activities.

Professor at the Francisco de Vitoria University

Lecturer in the Master of Business Analytics, Artificial Intelligence, and Machine Learning of the UFV, among the top private European universities, since its creation in 2022.

I teach about AI strategy and robotics and participate in the Executive Education programs of the university for in-company education, targeted to the C-level suite.

Distinguished Lecturer of the Technology Engineering Management Society of IEEE

Appointed for 2024-2026, this unique merit represents selective, peer-based recognition by IEEE TEMS of exceptional expertise and impact in technology and engineering management, coupled with an institutional mandate to represent the Society internationally through high-value lectures that disseminate best practices and shape the field across sectors and regions.

IDC Research Analyst

Before founding the GIA Institute, I worked at the renowned technology market research firm IDC for three years as a Senior Research Analyst and Consulting Manager.

My role involved leading large events (500+ people), private executive lunches, and frequent meetings with the executive boards (including CEOs) of large corporations across tech and non-tech markets.

Artificial intelligence agents and synthetic humans

An analysis of the transition from rule-based systems to autonomous AI agents and their embodiment as “synthetic humans,” describing their architectures and applications while examining associated ethical, regulatory, and societal implications (including transparency, responsibility, deepfakes, griefbots, and digital twins) and outlining plausible future scenarios on the path toward AGI.

Selling our soul: security and privacy in the age of empathetic AI

A study of how so-called “empathetic AI” provides convenience and companionship by inferring emotions, but at the cost of increasing exposure of intimate data, security risks, behavioral manipulation, and dependency, and it concludes by calling for a new social contract with guarantees for transparency, consent, emotional privacy, and clear regulatory and accountability frameworks. [In Spanish]

The foundry of thought

Elites and power structures have historically shaped collective thinking through psychological bias, propaganda, and institutions (from Bernays, Tavistock, Nazi propaganda, and the Cold War to algorithms, big data, bots, and microtargeting in the digital era). This article reveals them and proposes resistance strategies available to anyone.
