Greece has introduced "Artificial Intelligence for All," a pioneering initiative offering a free guide to the correct use of AI, developed by top Greek AI scientists in partnership with the Ministry of Digital Governance, the National Council for Research, Technology and Innovation, and the Special Secretariat for Long-Term Planning.

The guide is accessible to citizens through a user-friendly digital platform on the Special Secretariat for AI and Data Governance's website. Its primary goal is to bolster digital education and encourage the proper application of artificial intelligence in everyday activities, professional settings, and educational pursuits. The initiative also emphasizes developing citizens' communication skills through modern AI systems, which are now fundamental to digital literacy.

Through practical examples and straightforward instructions, the guide serves as a tool for familiarizing the public with AI, thereby helping to bridge the digital divide. It aims to empower citizens to effectively utilize modern digital tools, ultimately enhancing their daily and professional lives. For instance, the guide clarifies core AI concepts and Large Language Models, explaining their functionality and capabilities. It illustrates how citizens can process data like texts and images, analyze them, and derive conclusions using complex algorithms, leading to predictions like weather forecasts, content creation, or automated tasks like spam filtering.

The idea that national interest was... a subject of mockery for me is contradicted by facts.
