The Commission will provide evidence-based advice and suggestions on how Greece can utilize the multiple possibilities and opportunities arising from the use of AI, but also on how to implement a coherent protection framework against potential challenges and adjustments, inequalities and risks.
It will develop guidelines for the long-term formulation of a national strategy for Artificial Intelligence, focusing on the areas of importance for Greece: economy and society, improving productivity, increasing innovation, strengthening infrastructure, managing the effects of the climate crisis, supporting human resources and social cohesion, creating quality jobs, defending national digital sovereignty and improving the operation of the State.
Finally, the Commission will aim to identify areas where Greece has a competitive advantage and can place itself at the forefront of the international debate on the use of AI and suggest ways to creatively combine the application of ethical and regulatory rules with the promotion of innovation, by the public and private sectors, and contribute national positions to the European debate on its regulatory framework AI.
