Maybe. Tech companies might have some good jobs for a while. But they will continue to transfer their profits to their parent companies in the US (and/or some tax shelter somewhere).
and data centres
Data centres employ very few people. Pretty much exclusively during construction. Once operational, very little actual labour is required. Mostly maintenance.
we will just be a theme park for tourists with the poorly paid, precarious hospitality jobs that go along with that.
No more poorly paid or precarious than a data centre job for Big Tech, I would imagine.
I agree with the sentiment that Spain (and much of Europe, really) needs a big economic boost beyond tourism. But AI fueled data centres ain't it.
