The Interior Ministry and Google are launching a new seminar series aimed at acquainting public administration employees with the capabilities and challenges of AI, in a bid to accelerate reforms for streamlining state bureaucracy, improving security and transparency, and boosting employment equality.
Invitations of interest are scheduled to go out on Tuesday for the new seminar round, which is expected to benefit some 10,000 civil servants.
Launched in 2024, the program has already helped train 15,000 citizens – more than half of which were public employees – through a mix of online and in-person sessions, workshops and practical applications.
“To date, a total of 11 training programs have been implemented, familiarizing public sector employees with advanced technological applications. These programs have provided them with the necessary foundational knowledge in areas such as artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, machine learning and cloud technology,” Deputy Interior Minister Vivi Charalaboyianni told the Delphi Economic Forum, where the latest initiative was announced.
