Quantum computing, new energy sources, and AI agents: 2025 is set to be defined by a renewed drive for potentially disruptive technologies, with global technology investment projected to grow by 9 percent, according to Gartner.

The mass deployment of more than 3,000 ChatGPT Enterprise licenses across the BBVA Group has unleashed a wave of innovative ideas on how to apply generative AI to improve productivity. Quickly locating information to answer legal queries from customers, increasing the visibility of marketing actions, streamlining the management of large volumes of data or helping code development are just four examples of the more than 900 use cases of strategic interest that have already been implemented by the bank’s employees.

Researchers at BBVA and IBM Research have designed a dataset that functions as a stress test to measure the presence of discriminatory bias in the responses given by generative artificial intelligence models in languages other than English. The BBVA team’s stress test measures biases that could exist in GenAI in Spanish. The work was shown at NeurIPS, the world’s biggest AI conference, and was made available to the open source community to continue the research.

BBVA ranks first in the ‘4th Cybersecurity Transparency Report’ prepared by Watch & Act Protection Service, which is based on public information on Spanish Ibex35 companies.

In 2023, BBVA chose Amazon Web Services (AWS) to accelerate its data-driven transformation. A year later, and the bank’s global cloud data platform is a reality. Following a process that involved multiple use cases and numerous teams, BBVA has successfully completed the full migration in Europe and Uruguay to its ADA (Analytics, Data, AI) cloud platform. The project involved the complex task of migrating tens of thousands of processes and thousands of users, all with no service interruptions. Given its success, the BBVA Group is now preparing to expand ADA in 2025 to the other countries in which it operates, including Mexico, Colombia, Peru and Argentina.
