Abstract
We present automated next-to-leading order QCD and/or electroweak (EW) predictions for photon-photon processes in ultraperipheral high-energy collisions of protons and ions, extending the capabilities of the \textsc{MadGraph5\_aMC@NLO} framework together in combination with the \ttt{gamma-UPC} code. Key aspects of this extension are discussed. We compute QCD and/or EW quantum corrections for several phenomenologically interesting processes at LHC and FCC-hh energies.
