    Demis Hassabis, co-founder of DeepMind, stressed the need for continuous learning in the age of AI.


    Emphasized the importance of "meta-skills" – the ability to learn and adapt to new subjects rapidly.

    These adaptive skills will be just as critical as traditional academic knowledge.

    Hassabis recently received the 2024 Nobel prize in Chemistry.


    Honored for developing AI systems that can accurately predict protein folding.

    ⚠ Warning on Wealth Concentration – PM Mitsotakis


    Greek PM Kyriakos Mitsotakis spoke about the socioeconomic risks of unchecked AI development.


    Warned that if the benefits of AI remain limited to a few corporations, global inequality may worsen.


    Stated, “If immense wealth is concentrated in a few companies, it can lead to serious social unrest.”


    Urged inclusive growth so ordinary people feel AI’s benefits personally.


    đŸ›ïžÂ Greece’s AI Integration Plans


    Mitsotakis also outlined efforts to integrate AI into governance and public services.

    At the end of the event, Mitsotakis thanked Hassabis for rescheduling his presentation to avoid a clash with the greece vs turkey basketball semi-final.
