Google and Greece Join Forces to Transform Public Service with AI

In a groundbreaking move to modernize its public sector, Greece has partnered with tech giant Google to launch an ambitious AI training program for government employees. The initiative aims to harness the power of artificial intelligence to streamline processes, enhance decision-making, and ultimately improve the quality of services delivered to citizens.

Dubbed “AI for All,” the program kicked off with a pilot phase involving 500 civil servants, providing them with hands-on training in practical AI applications. The curriculum covers a wide range of topics, from data analysis and automation to leadership and ethical considerations.

Greece moves towards a more contemporary public administration

By equipping public servants with AI skills, the government hopes to boost efficiency, reduce bureaucracy, and enable employees to focus on more strategic tasks. The program is part of a broader push to transform Greece into a digital-first nation.

As the program expands to cover all public services by September, it is expected to have a profound impact on government operations. By fostering a culture of innovation and problem-solving, the initiative aims to create a more responsive and citizen-centric public administration.
