Greece has signed a memorandum of understanding with OpenAI to integrate advanced artificial intelligence tools into secondary education and support innovation among small businesses. The partnership makes Greece one of the first countries to implement ChatGPT Edu, a specialized version of ChatGPT designed for academic institutions, aiming to modernize education and foster economic growth. Selected Greek startups in healthcare, climate change, education, and public sectors will gain access to OpenAI’s technology and credits to accelerate their projects. The agreement was signed by Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, Onassis Foundation President Antonis Papadimitriou, and OpenAI's Chief Global Affairs Officer Chris Lehane. Lehane emphasized Greece’s historical role in education, referencing Plato and Aristotle, and highlighted the nation’s current dedication to learning and innovation. This move coincides with OpenAI’s recent launch of the GPT-5 model, further advancing AI’s impact on global business and culture.
