Greece's prime minister visited San Francisco to attract tech investment and was unusually candid about not having answers to AI's societal challenges. He acknowledged that governments are scrambling to keep pace with AI's speed and effects on jobs, education, and human development.

• Greece is positioning itself as a tech hub after its debt crisis recovery—it now borrows more cheaply than the U.S., regains developed market status next year, and is offering tax breaks and visa programs to lure talent and companies back.
• Mitsotakis admitted governments are behind the curve on AI policy; Greece's ban on social media for under-15s may already be obsolete given AI chatbots, and he warned that job displacement will happen faster than any society is prepared for.
• He called for AI development to slow down and backed "smart regulation," arguing that if AI lab leaders admit uncertainty about how their models work, policymakers need to listen rather than pretend to have solutions.
