We participated in a survey of experts on the use of new technologies in the field of education in the framework of the MILES project
In the age of hyper-connectivity, people are inundated by a constant flow of information and news that brings, on the one hand, better and stable information about world events and, on the other hand, many risks associated with fake news and misinformation.
Homo Digitalis had the pleasure to participate in a relevant research-discussion conducted by the MILES project (MIL and PRE-BUNKING approaches for Critical thinking in the education sector) and addressed to experts regarding the use of new technologies in the field of education.
The aim of the debate is to gather information on misinformation in order to develop effective strategies for the education sector. The discussion focused on issues such as digital literacy, the cultivation of critical thinking as a tool for identifying fake news, the role of education and the education system, and exploring possible policy interventions.
Homo Digitalis was represented in the research debate by the Director of Human Rights & Artificial Intelligence, Lambrini Yftokosta. We would like to thank the civil society organization KMOP Social Action and Innovation Centre for the inclusion and the honorary invitation.

Participation of Homo Digitalis in the EKKE and Democritοs Study on the use of Productive Artificial Intelligence in Greece
The Special Secretariat of Foresight, Hellenic Republic (Special Secretariat of Foresight, Hellenic Republic), in cooperation with the National Centre for Social Research (EKKE) and the National Centre for Scientific Research “Demokritos” (EKKE “D” National Center for Scientific Research “Demokritos”) implemented the first empirical research approach of strategic foresight for the use of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GIA) in Greece.
The research presents trends, opportunities, challenges, uncertainties and possible options that will shape the future of the country’s AI ecosystem. It provides a framework for proposed strategic initiatives and policy recommendations. Its main objective is to draw on the collective knowledge and foresight of experts and practitioners regarding the impact of the domestic Productive Artificial Intelligence (PI) ecosystem, with a time horizon of 2030.
It is a great honour for the Homo Digitalis team to be selected to be among the 30 experts who participated in the interviews using questionnaires for the preparation of the survey. The experts represented various stakeholders (public administration, research-academic community, business-private sector, civil society, professional and scientific bodies) and are systematically involved in the WTN. Our team was represented with remarks by our Board Secretary Lefteris Chelioudakis.
We would like to thank Dr. Charalambos Tsekeris, Head of the Research Project “GenAI Greece 2030”, Vice-Chairman of the National Bioethics and Technology Ethics Committee and Principal Researcher of the ESRC for the inclusion and the honorary challenge to Homo Digitalis to participate. Our organization is always available to give presence to similar initiatives and to actively participate in the public debate on the use of AI technologies.
