Hey Antb,
I’m Pablo, Spanish and based in Spain. As far as I know these are the following AI Safety researchers:
Jaime Sevilla leads the organization Epoch AI, mostly interested in forecasting AI.
Juan Rocamonde and Adrià Garriga work full time on AI alignment in FAR.ai and Redwood Research.
There is a professor, called Jose Hernández Orallo, working between Cambridge and Valencia who has been for quite a while in AI Safety. I know him and he is an excellent researcher. Part of the existential AI Safety FLI community, and mostly interested in measuring intelligence.
There are also a couple of other professors at the Carlos III university in Madrid who could be friendly to these topics (see eg https://e-archivo.uc3m.es/handle/10016/29354), but it is unclear to what extent they would put this as their main research field.
I work part-time as a science communicator in FAR.ai
In summary: if you want to stay in Spain probably you should go to Jose’s group. I am happy to introduce you to Jose, with whom I did an internship a year and a half ago. We also have a Spanish-speaking EA community in case you’re interested. Hope this is useful.
