Homo Digitalis successfully participated in the Digital World Summit Greece 2025
Last week, the Co-Founder of Homo Digitalis, Stefanos Vitoratos, spoke at the Digital World Summit Greece about the next steps in the evolution of Artificial Intelligence, what we can expect over the next decade, and best practices that can help create a safer environment.
“Artificial Intelligence is not going to wipe out human labor; as in every phase of technological transition, what changes is not the need for work, but the environment and the way it is carried out. What is required is adaptation and active participation in the new reality,” he emphasized.
