Greece proposes constitutional safeguards on artificial intelligence

Greece is preparing sweeping constitutional reforms that would require artificial intelligence to serve human society and protect individual freedoms.

Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis announced the proposed amendment Thursday as governments worldwide debate AI regulation and democratic oversight.

The revisions would also expand postal voting, extend mandatory schooling and ban retroactive taxation.

Greek officials say the AI provision would act as a long-term safeguard as technology platforms gain greater influence over daily life.

The reforms must pass votes in two successive parliaments, a process that typically requires cross-party backing in Greece’s legislature.
