ABSTRACT
This paper presents and discusses the Hellenic National Strategy for Artificial Intelligence (HNSAI) based on an early draft version available to the authors. It describes the primary timeline, methodology, and workflow for developing the Greek AI strategy. The primary source for this part of the paper is the discussions with major stakeholders and the involvement of one of the authors with the review of the AI strategy. The paper briefly outlines the structure and the main elements of the Greek AI strategy, presenting its vision, strategic axes, goals and targets, the governing scheme, and the proposed funding sources. It then discusses its strong and weak points providing a critical analysis of the strategy's vision concerning the democratisation of AI and highlighting the need for broader inter-governmental coordination and consultation during the development of national strategies. Our conclusions, along with some recommendations, are drawn in the final section of the paper.
