As a result of the cooperation between the Royal Academy of Engineering and Fundación La Caixa (La Caixa Foundation), a series of lectures are being held under the title Futurists: Engineering and its new challenges, in Madrid, and will continue in the cities of Seville and Zaragoza, and are given by academicians of the RAI. Due to the global health situation, only two of the planned lectures could be held in 2020. The first of these lectures, Will we run out of water?, was given by Mr Elías Fereres, academician of the RAI, on 5th March 2020, who recalled that life on the Planet is not possible without water, and in the case of human beings, in addition to hydrating one’s body, water is essential for the production of food. http://www.raing.es/es/actividades/nos-quedaremos-sin-agua-por-el-fereres The second of these conferences, Artificial Intelligence: Fiction and reality, was given by Nuria Oliver on 24th September 2020. http://www.raing.es/es/actividades/inteligencia-artificial-ficci-n-y-realidad-por-nuria-oliver

The session organised jointly with the Royal Academy of Engineering, the Royal National Academy of Pharmacy, the Royal Academy of Economic and Financial Sciences and the Young Academy of Spain took place on 19th February 2020. Artificial Intelligence (AI), both conceptually and its applications and subsequent effects - real, possible or simply imagined - is currently receiving intense and massive attention, often unrewarded because of limited knowledge about it. http://www.raing.es/es/actividades/inteligencia-artificial-el-valor-de-los-datos-2-sesi-n

An important group of researchers participated in the study, directed by the academician Mr Francisco Herrera, of which he is also co-author. This work has progressed very substantially throughout 2020. The paper "Engineering as enabler of the SDGs: Artificial Intelligence and Disruptive Digital Technologies", analyses a set of current digital technologies that interrelate with artificial intelligence to move forward in the challenges facing the global economy and society of the 21st century. http://www.raing.es/es/publicaciones/libros/inteligencia-artificial-y-tecnolog-digitales-para-los-ods

The study "Greenhouse gas emissions in the agri-food system and the carbon footprint of food in Spain", which began in the last academic year, has continued to be developed. It is estimated that all stages of the "agri-food system" are responsible for 27% of global anthropogenic GGE emissions. http://www.raing.es/es/publicaciones/libros/emisiones-de-gases-efecto-invernadero-en-el-sistema-agroalimentario-y-huella-de

Authors: Wolfgang Kröger et al. Main themes: autonomous mobility Nature of publication: factsheet English abstract (150 to 200 words): The future aim of highly and fully automated vehicles with corresponding drive systems is to free drivers from often tedious tasks, eliminate them as a source of danger, and make more efficient use of infrastructure. They require an almost unimaginably high level of digitalisation, artificial intelligence usage and innovative networking to enable extremely complex systems to emerge. Autonomous vehicles are currently at an early stage of development, planning or even testing. Details of initial authorisations and commercial availability are still far off: sceptics dismiss this as just hype, proponents talk about it soon becoming a reality. This is supported by billions in investment from large countries such as the USA, China, and Germany, as well as gigantic technology and service conglomerates such as Alphabet-Waymo, Uber and leading automobile manufacturers. A realistic timeframe seems to be 20 years until highly automated vehicles penetrate the market, with at least 40 years for fully automated versions. Autonomous shuttles, taxi fleets, computer-guided lorry convoys and traffic on the outskirts of major cities will most likely lead the charge. The small brochure provides a detailed overview of the current challenges on a technical, legal, environmental, and social level, and shows some potential benefits.
