The Founding Conference of the Greek Artificial Intelligence Network – GAIN Successfully Concluded
The founding conference of the Cooperation Network for the Protection and Promotion of Human Rights in the Development and Use of Artificial Intelligence Systems in Greece was successfully completed! The provisional title of the network is Greek Artificial Intelligence Network – GAIN.
The network aspires to become a space for collaboration, knowledge exchange, and mutual support, fostering initiatives in awareness-raising, advocacy, and legal assistance — with the central goal of safeguarding Human Rights in the development and use of Artificial Intelligence systems.
The network’s activities aim to go beyond the minimum legal guarantees, drawing guidance from codes of ethics that emphasize morality, transparency, and accountability in the design, implementation, and evaluation of AI technologies.
The event took place on October 7, 2025, hosted at the offices of the Greek Forum of Migrants, where members and observers of the network had the opportunity to discuss, plan, and lay the foundations for an open, collaborative, and socially responsible AI community in Greece.
During the event, Open Lab Athens delivered an educational presentation on the technical characteristics and materialities of machine learning, significantly contributing to the discussion and collective understanding of the related technologies and their limitations.
The initiative is coordinated by the Homo Digitalis team, with the support of the European Artificial Intelligence & Society Fund (EAISF).

Joint Declaration for the Creation of a Human Rights Protection Network in the Development & Use of AI Systems – GAIN
We are proud to announce the official launch of a collaborative and inclusive network, committed to the protection and promotion of Human Rights, Democracy, and the Rule of Law in the development and use of Artificial Intelligence systems in Greece.
The network was born out of a multi-stakeholder dialogue initiated during the February 2025 event organized by Homo Digitalis, in light of the implementation of the European Artificial Intelligence Regulation (Regulation 2024/1689).
The text of the Declaration is available here.
The mission of the network is to serve as a space for collaboration, advocacy, legal interventions, and public awareness, ensuring that AI systems in Greece comply with fundamental rights and democratic values, as enshrined in the Greek Constitution, the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights, and the European Convention on Human Rights.
The working title of the network is Greek Artificial Intelligence Network – GAIN. The founding conference, which will take place within three (3) months, will determine the network’s governance framework, guiding principles, and future direction.
The initiative is coordinated by Homo Digitalis, with the support of the European Artificial Intelligence & Society Fund (EAISF), and is open to any interested organization.

The Digital World Summit Greece (DWS Greece) aims to promote the democratic governance of new technologies. As a dialogue platform, it brings together diverse stakeholders and groups, shaping policies from the grassroots level to the top on issues related to artificial intelligence, platforms, the Internet of Things, and broader technological domains.
Homo Digitalis has actively supported DWS Greece since its inception, and it is a great honor for us to continue doing so dynamically. Together, we aim to contribute to the maturation of public discourse in Greece on issues related to digital rights.
