Greece is pioneering a comprehensive framework for the safe use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in educational settings, spearheaded by Sofia Zacharaki (Minister of Education, Religious Affairs & Sports) and Dimitris Papastergiou (Minister of Digital Governance and Artificial Intelligence). This initiative aims to ensure that AI serves as a supportive educational tool rather than a replacement for critical thinking and personal effort. The framework emphasizes that the use of AI tools is optional for both students and teachers and is not linked to any form of evaluation. Strict safeguards will protect students from misinformation and harmful content, prohibiting practices such as the creation of deepfake content and unauthorized AI applications. Furthermore, the framework explicitly forbids the input of sensitive personal data into AI systems and restricts AI tool usage during assessments unless authorized by a teacher. The role of an AI Use Coordinator will be established in every school to oversee the implementation of AI tools and ensure compliance with data protection standards. Training programs for teachers will focus on AI principles, risks, and personal data protection, with annual information sessions for students and parents to promote responsible AI use.
