We all strive for a green future, so this aspect requires special attention,” Papandreou noted.He also emphasized that many perceive artificial intelligence not only as a tool for progress but also as a means of controlling people, which causes serious concerns.Unfortunately, AI is often viewed not as a technology capable of bringing benefits, but as a mechanism for controlling people.
