Generative AI Greece 2030: Greece's possible GenAI futures

The present study is the first empirical strategic foresight research approach on the use of Generative Artificial Intelligence (Gen AI) in Greece. The study, conducted by the National Centre for Social Research (EKKE) and the NCSR “Demokritos”, with the support of the Special Secretariat of Foresight, presents trends, opportunities, challenges, uncertainties and possible options that will shape the future of the Gen AI ecosystem in Greece. It provides a framework of proposed strategic initiatives and policy recommendations. Its main objective is to draw on the collective knowledge and foresight perceptions of a sample of Greek experts/specialists on the impact of the domestic Gen AI ecosystem, in the time frame of 2030.

More specifically, following a thorough preliminary desk research, systematic literature review and multimethod horizon scanning, we proceeded to interviews using questionnaires. The informants are a rich and inclusive group of 30 experts representing different stakeholders (public administration, research-academic community, business-private sector and civil society, professional and scientific associations), who are systematically involved in Gen AI. They were asked to evaluate a series of hypotheses and statements on the future (or possible futures) of Gen AI in the country until 2030
