Greece Seeks Constitutional Rule Requiring AI to Serve Society
The proposal would also expand postal voting, lengthen mandatory schooling and ban retroactive taxation as officials seek long-term guardrails on AI use.
- Conservative Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis outlined constitutional revisions on Thursday requiring Artificial intelligence to serve human society, aiming to safeguard future generations from risks to democratic governance.
- Greece has embraced technology since emerging from a major financial crisis eight years ago, upgrading border surveillance and rebuilding tax administration; this history drives Mitsotakis's push for constitutional guardrails.
- Dozens of broader constitutional changes accompany the Artificial intelligence proposal, including increasing mandatory schooling from nine to 11 years, expanding postal voting, and banning retroactive taxation.
- Evripidis Stylianidis, the government's lead lawmaker on constitutional revision, stated the changes will serve as long-term guardrails on Artificial intelligence use, with the process requiring votes by two successive parliaments.
- Some constitutional experts argue Artificial intelligence must legally serve democracy because private technology platforms operate beyond effective oversight; Last month the government unveiled plans for a social media ban for children younger than 16.
