Greece's cadastral agency will begin trialing artificial intelligence applications on Thursday until September, making it the first Greek government agency to use AI, Konstantinos Kiranakis, deputy minister for digital governance, said in an interview on Sky TV on Wednesday.
He explained that open AI applications can help “read the text of contracts in natural language and proactively identify rules that supervisors previously had to spend a lot of time digging through to find.”
In this way, AI tools can help instantly identify what rules must be implemented within a contract, significantly reducing the time it takes to complete the deal, he said.
Mr Kiranakis said in the meantime that the Deeds Office archives had been digitised and that lawyers who examine deeds on behalf of their clients in Athens, Thessaloniki, Piraeus and 30 other notary offices would from now on be able to carry out the searches on their own computers from their own offices via archive.ktimatologio.gr.
He noted that more than 50 million pages have been digitized and that 90 percent of the correspondence regarding acts filed in Athens and Thessaloniki in recent months has been carried out digitally.
The deputy minister said this will not only save Greek taxpayers time but also protect them from possible bribery and blackmail, and urged members of the public not to hesitate to report such activities, even anonymously if they wish. “The time has come to root out the various corrupt individuals from the Greek public sector. The time has come to bring more transparency to the Greek state sector and to fear nothing,” the deputy minister said.
