AI and its impact on the job market: Invitation to a panel discussion in Athens, Wednesday MArch 20th, 18:00
|
Dear friends, During the last few years and especially after the launch of ChatGPT and other similar applications there has been an ever-growing hype around Artificial Intelligence. While the progress is real and, I have to admit, quite impressive, it is not rare to observe pertinent discussions assigning mythical superpowers to these apps and to exaggerate either for the good or the bad impacts of AI. My view is that much as neither the generic cure of cancer nor the end of humanity is going to happen within the next few weeks (at least not because of - or thanks to - AI). On the other hand, given the pace of the technical progress (and less of the scientific one, unfortunately), as well as given the gravity that hype gets itself, it is worth discussing the impact of AI on critical functions of our society - first and foremost on the job market. It is, then, with great pleasure that the Vassilios Tsingos Foundation partners with GSEVEE (the country's most significant federation of small business owners) and the Hellenic Association of Computer Scientists and Engineers in organizing a panel discussion with the subject of: The pertinent panel includes Greece's Minister of Digital Governance, one of the country's most prominent theoretical computer scientists, the founder of an awesome, fast growing AI startup (promising to replace many jobs!), members of the parliament for the two main opposition parties and representatives of the professional and scientific unions co-organizing the event. Yours truly will proudly have the role of the coordinator. The event will take place on Wednesday March 20th, 18:00, hosted at the amphitheater of GSEVEE (Aristotelous 46, Athens). If those of you who will be in Athens that day manage to join, it will be a great honor and pleasure for me!

Please, then, excuse mistakes :-) |

Together for Europe: Α call Dear friends, We are living in tumultuous times. And Europe is completely unprepared for them. The past two decades have seen crisis after crisis sweep the world, destabilizing all that we had considered normal. And Europe through all this at best ploughed barely through, and at worst lost ground and influence. Together for Europe is a movement - and a grassroots organization - that emerged in the midst of such a crisis. We were born out of the frustration that a...
Six Years On — And the World Has Caught Up With Our Vision Dear friends, Six years ago, on April 12th, 2020, in the midst of the pandemic, a small but determined group of citizens came together under the name Movimento Insieme — Together for Europe — with a conviction that many considered idealistic: that Europe's only future is a federal one. A few days after our sixth anniversary, I write to you with the quiet confidence of a movement that has lived to see the world validate its founding...
Dear friends,Today we are celebrating Europe Day 2025. This Friday marks indeed the 80th anniversary of glorious victory of the free people, the victory of humanity, over the monsters of nazism and fascism. Following that incredible, yet very painful, victory, our parents and our grandparents had to deal with a continent left in ruins. They worked hard and they worked together, building open, democratic societies which have been probably the best ever created by human beings. The last 15...
