OpenAI launches strategic partnership with Greece on artificial intelligence

Greece is launching a strategic partnership with OpenAI, the Onassis Foundation and Endeavor Greece, through the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding, with the aim of making responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI).

The initiative is part of a broader national AI strategy, which is based on four pillars:

1. improving the productivity of the State;
2. applications in key areas,
3. creating a dynamic innovation ecosystem;
4. making Greece a centre for dialogue on the ethics of AI.

The initiative kicks off at a time of explosive development of AI in Greece, with the number of weekly active ChatGPT users having increased sevenfold in the last year and almost 60% of these users being under 35 years of age, indicating a strong interest of young people in the technology.

Training with ChatGPT Edu

• The pilot project will start this year in 20 high schools, covering different geographical and socio-economic areas.
• Teachers will receive training and will be able to create tailor-made GPTs for course design.
• Students will use technology for personalized learning, language learning and research assignments.

Start-up support

• The Accelerator Program will support Greek startups with access to technological resources, expert guidance and workshops on escalation and security issues.
• Priority is given to solutions for education, public services, health and the environment.
• The programme includes international outreach and networking with investors.

The Importance of Cooperation

The initiative strengthens the educational ecosystem and creates new prospects for innovative businesses, making the country an active member of the international charter of artificial intelligence.
