Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis spoke on Tuesday with DeepMind founder and CEO Demis Hassabis.
According to government sources, Mitsotakis and Hassabis discussed the need to create a code of conduct and security in the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI). This would protect users and reduce the impact of potential risks, but it would not hinder development of AI technology and innovation.
According to Hassabis, sources added, Greece can benefit in several fields from the use of artificial intelligence, highlighting its advantages in economy, education, tourism, culture and boosting productivity.
The discussion was held in the context of initiatives that will be undertaken by the Greek prime minister regarding the use of AI in Greece and beyond, said sources.
DeepMind is a division of Alphabet, Inc. (Google’s parent company) responsible for developing general-purpose artificial intelligence (AGI) technology, also known as Google DeepMind.
