“We are one of the first countries to have drawn up a coherent national strategy for artificial intelligence. We are one of the seven European countries awarded the “AI Factory”, an important European funding initiative for the development of artificial intelligence infrastructure in European countries. We are a country that has an extremely rich scientific talent, active in the field of artificial intelligence. We are a country in which many large foreign technology companies have already invested, creating large data centres,” he noted.

While Greece was one of the countries already making use of AI to improve efficiency and productivity in the public sector, Mitsotakis pointed out, he also underlined the necessity “of being able to identify those areas where the state’s intervention is required in order to contain any negative repercussions”.
