Greek PM Admits AI Battles Already Lost

Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis visited San Francisco on a trade mission, pitching Greece to tech investors while touring Tesla and Sequoia Capital. He highlighted Greece's economic recovery, cheaper borrowing costs than the U.S., EU-funded digital infrastructure, and investor-friendly policies including tax incentives and visa programs. Mitsotakis was unusually candid about AI's societal challenges, admitting Greece's upcoming social media ban for under-15s may already be outdated given AI chatbot addiction. He expressed cautious optimism about AI in education while warning against replacing core learning, and noted Greece faces little public opposition to data center expansion, with Microsoft and AWS both investing near Athens.
