Generative artificial intelligence (AI) has burst into multiple sectors, from art and marketing to education and software development. Its ability to create images, text, music or code from simple written instructions is transforming the way we work, communicate and innovate. But how does this technology really work, and what can we expect from it in the coming years?

What is generative AI?

Generative AI is a branch of artificial intelligence that focuses on creating new and original content. Unlike other forms of AI that are limited to analyzing data or making decisions, generative models such as ChatGPT or DALL-E are capable of producing content that previously only humans could create.

How do you convert text to images?

The process begins with what is known as a prompt, which is nothing more than an instruction in natural language. For example: "a futuristic city at sunset with flying cars". This text is processed by a model trained with millions of images and descriptions, which learns to associate words with visual patterns.

The AI then uses techniques such as neural networks and diffusion models to "imagine" an image that matches the description. These models do not copy or search a database; they generate new visual compositions from scratch, pixel by pixel, based on the relationships they have learned between words and images.

And how does it generate texts?

In the case of text, models such as chatGPT work by predicting the next most likely word from the previous ones. Thanks to massive training with books, articles, dialogues and all kinds of text, the AI learns to construct coherent, structured and contextually relevant sentences.

You can ask him/her to write a professional email, a poem, a summary of a technical document or even the script of a video. The clearer and more specific the prompt, the better the result.

How will generative AI improve in the future?

While generative AI is already impressive, its evolution is just beginning. Here are some of the improvements we will see in the coming years:

• Greater accuracy and realism: The generated images and texts will be even more detailed, natural and difficult to distinguish from those created by humans.
• Advanced multimodality: Models will be able to understand and combine text, image, audio and video at the same time, facilitating complex tasks such as interactive content creation or automatic video editing.
• More creative control: Users will be able to more easily guide the results, with tools to fine-tune styles, tones or formats.
• Customized practical applications: From automated curricula to product designs or educational content tailored to each student.

Conclusion

Generative AI is ushering in a new era of assisted creativity. Knowing how it works and how to take advantage of it can make a big difference, both for professionals and companies. Far from replacing human talent, its greatest potential lies in empowering it, facilitating repetitive tasks and unlocking new forms of expression.

In the complex European regulatory landscape, where sustainability, transparency and efficiency are competing for the limelight, the Omnibus package package emerges as a key piece of the puzzle.

Its name may sound technical, even bureaucratic, but behind it lies a profound transformation of the corporate reporting system in the European Union. And the key question is: are we facing a new regulatory labyrinth or a historic opportunity to simplify and boost competitiveness for companies?

The so-called "Omnibus package" is a European Commission initiative that seeks to harmonize, simplify and digitize reporting requirements for companies within the single market.

It covers various regulatory reforms aimed at reducing the administrative burden, improving data interoperability and facilitating compliance with obligations, especially under the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and other transparency frameworks.

The challenge: narrow scope and delayed entry into force

One of the major changes proposed by the Omnibus is the drastic reduction in the number of companies that must report under the CSRD regulations. Initially affecting more than 50,000 companies, it now applies to approximately 7,000 companies, which represents a reduction of more than 80% in the scope of the regulation. The main change is that it now only applies to companies with more than 1,000 employees and 50 million euros in turnover.

This leaves a huge gap, since more than 95% of the business fabric is made up of companies with less than 1,000 employees. This will create a new scenario of complexity for large companies that will find it more difficult to obtain sustainability data from their suppliers (mostly SMEs) that will not be obliged to report under the CSRD.

Another key element has been the approval of the Stop-the-Clock Directive (2025/794/EU) on April 14 by the European Council as part of the Omnibus package, which aims to delay by two years the application of the reporting requirements set out by the CSRD. As a result, large companies that were due to report in 2026 (for the 2025 financial year) will have to report in 2028 (for the 2027 financial year).

Faced with these challenges, the European Commission (EC) recommends that SMEs report under the Voluntary Sustainability Reporting Standard for Unlisted SMEs (VSME) developed by EFRAG (pending publication of the EC Delegated Act). This report enables SMEs to provide sustainability information required by their business partners - large companies, banks and investors. This and other key aspects will be analyzed in greater depth in our next whitepaper: "Omnibus, what are the new rules of the game for sustainability reporting?"

Timeliness: efficiency, comparability and strategic value

However, the Omnibus package also opens up new opportunities. For example, it opens the door to a new era of intelligent and competitive reporting. Companies that are able to adapt quickly can benefit from several levers:

• Reduction of the administrative burden by eliminating duplication in the delivery of reports to different entities.
• Improved comparability and access to benchmarking, as data are available in common and reusable formats.
• Greater transparency with investors, clients and regulators, strengthening reputation and trust.
• Boosting internal digitalization, by forcing the integration of systems and working with data in a more agile way.
• And most importantly, turn reporting into a management tool, not just a compliance tool.

As is often the case in times of change, those who lead this transition will not necessarily be those with the most resources, but those who anticipate and better connect their stakeholders, value chains and sustainability narratives with the new regulatory and technological requirements.

The Omnibus package is both a technical challenge and a strategic opportunity. Its success will depend on how this simplification process is finalized, as the next step is the delivery of the amendments to the ESRS standards under which the CSRD is reported, a task assigned to ERFRAG with a deadline of October this year, which will then be evaluated and approved by the European Commission.

In a context where data is gold and sustainability is no longer optional, simplifying is not trivializing, it is doing more with less, and doing it better. The key lies in companies not taking on these changes as just another obligation, but as a lever for value creation, simplification, competitiveness and intelligent transparency.

In a world where we are already experiencing the consequences of global warming, the search for alternative energies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions is urgent. Thanks to technological advances and artificial intelligence, the energy scenario is being revolutionized. We are currently facing very ambitious projects that promise to change the current scenario. One of these major projects is nuclear fusion, a potentially key energy for a carbon-free world.

What is nuclear fusion?

The Nuclear Safety Council (CSN) explains that it is a nuclear reaction in which two nuclei of light atoms join to form another heavier nucleus. During this process a large amount of energy is released, which we perceive as light and heat, just as it occurs in the sun. However, it is a very complex process that needs a lot of control and is still in experimental stages.

Why does it present a more sustainable future?

First, it is a clean energy source that does not produce hazardous radioactive waste in the long term. It also does not emit large quantities of greenhouse gases, thus significantly reducing greenhouse gas pollution.

Another advantage is that the main component for fusion is hydrogen, which is found in abundance in water and in nature. This is a great advantage over fossil fuels, which are limited and running out.

Is the process of nuclear fusion safe?

Unlike nuclear fission, a process currently carried out in nuclear power plants, nuclear fusion does not involve major risks. Nuclear fusion experts explain that this reaction can only be carried out under such extreme conditions that an uncontrolled chain reaction is impossible. They also claim that fusion could be interrupted in a matter of seconds.

Advances in Spanish territory.

There are many nuclear fusion projects in the world, both experimental and applied research. One of the most important and which has recently made significant progress is located in Spain.

The University of Seville is working on a project of great international interest: the SMART tokamak. It is a state-of-the-art experimental fusion device that, according to the university itself, is a spherical tokamak unique in the world. Thanks to it, we are closer to nuclear fusion since it has managed to generate plasma at millions of degrees during a record time. A breakthrough that is a milestone on the road to developing the most compact fusion device possible.

Conclusion

Nuclear fusion has been a technical challenge for years. However, thanks to technical advances and the acceleration brought about by revolutionary technologies such as artificial intelligence, we have taken major steps forward. Although much remains to be done, we can say that we will be closer to a cleaner and more sustainable future.
