Pablo Muelas analyses the challenges of insurance in a world without borders | Expansión

icon 11 of July, 2025

In a context defined by the mobility of people and businesses, the insurance sector must adapt to address the challenges posed by globalisation, including the influx of tourists, cultural diversity, and the regulation of transnational operators.

Pablo Muelas, partner in charge of insurance at Gómez-Acebo & Pombo, reflects in this Expansión opinion piece on how the insurance industry is facing the challenge of ensuring protection, sustainability, and balance in an increasingly open and complex market.

He stresses that data centres are vital allies in ensuring regulatory compliance, as they provide the physical infrastructure necessary to operate and host AI systems of varying risk levels.

Moreover, he highlights the importance of resilience, security, availability, human oversight, and data traceability, particularly for high-risk AI systems, which are subject to more stringent requirements.

Finally, Muelas cautions that Spanish regulations will complement the European framework with inspections, sanctions, and the appointment of authorities such as AESIA, reinforcing the need to embed regulation within the governance and compliance frameworks of data centre operators.
