The National Lighthouse Association for the Acceleration of Artificial Intelligence (ANFAIA) was born with a clear vision: to democratize access to artificial intelligence and make it a tool at the service of social progress. Since our beginnings, we have worked to build an ecosystem where technology, ethics and social commitment converge in projects with real impact.
Our Origin: A Shared Vision
ANFAIA emerges from the conviction that artificial intelligence should not be the exclusive patrimony of large corporations or elite academic institutions. Founded by a group of professionals, researchers and technological innovation enthusiasts, our association aims to build bridges between technical knowledge and social needs, promoting open innovation and equitable access to these transformative technologies.
From the beginning, we understood that artificial intelligence has the potential to revolutionize multiple areas of our society: from the preservation of cultural heritage to the improvement of health systems, through inclusive education and the fight against climate change. But this potential can only be fully realized if we work collaboratively, ethically and with a deep sense of social responsibility.
Our Mission: Ethical and Accessible Innovation
At ANFAIA we are guided by three fundamental pillars:
Open Innovation: All our projects are developed under open source philosophy, ensuring that the knowledge generated is accessible to the entire community. We believe in transparency and the power of collaborative development.
Ethics and Responsibility: Artificial intelligence development must be guided by solid ethical principles. We commit to promoting transparent algorithms, open data, equity in access and a deep consideration of the social and environmental impact of our technologies.
Training and Knowledge Transfer: Through programs such as our Summer Scholarships, we train new generations of professionals capable of applying artificial intelligence to real problems, combining technical knowledge with social sensitivity.
Our Areas of Action
Culture: We believe that artificial intelligence has the potential to revolutionize the way we create, share, and experience culture.
Art: The intersection between art and artificial intelligence offers a vast field of creative exploration.
Health: The application of AI in the healthcare field has the potential to save lives and improve the quality of life for millions of people.
Robotics/Automation: The combination of AI with automation and robotics opens up a world of possibilities for automating tasks and creating intelligent systems.
Sustainability: AI plays a crucial role in the fight against climate change and the promotion of a sustainable future.
Ethics: We recognize the importance of addressing the ethical implications of AI development and use.
A Collaborative Ecosystem
None of these achievements would be possible without our collaborative ecosystem. We work closely with institutions such as AITIRE, Fundación Matrix and Feuga, as well as with universities, businesses and civil society. Our specialized mentors guide participants in each project, ensuring not only technical success but also social impact.
Looking to the Future
With each project, with each trained scholarship recipient, with each line of open source code, ANFAIA takes another step towards its vision: a future where artificial intelligence is a democratizing, inclusive force at the service of the common good.
This blog is our window to the world. Here we will share progress, reflections, successes and learnings. But above all, it is an invitation to be part of this community that is building the future of technological innovation, one project at a time.
