At the annual conference on "Shaping the Future of AI," which was organized by the Digital World Summit Greece at the National Hellenic Research Foundation under the auspices of the United Nations, the Ministry of Digital Governance, and the Municipality of Athens, on Tuesday, Digital Governance Minister Dimitris Papastergiou stated that Greece is "at a good level" when it comes to integrating AI into public administration.

The minister declared that the AI application for tourists will be presented the following Monday along with the Tourism Ministry. It is a digital assistant that will inform tourists about everything they need in Greece.

Papastergiou highlighted the need for retraining and upskilling while acknowledging that artificial intelligence may eliminate some jobs while simultaneously creating more. “Technology needs social sensitivity. You shouldn’t go forward so fast without looking back.”

Regarding the new challenges, the minister said that “we have to make our own models, create our own technology, our own infrastructure, such as Daidalos, data centers with a green sign, but also change educational programs at universities.”
