The Ministry of Tourism and the Ministry of Digital Governance were awarded the Gold prize by the "DEI Bite Awards 2024", one of the most important institutions rewarding technological innovation in Greece, for the pioneering application mAiGreece. This application, utilizing Artificial Intelligence, serves as a personalized Digital Travel Assistant.
mAiGreece was first presented last June by the Minister of Tourism, Ms. Olga Kefalogianni, and the Minister of Digital Governance, Mr. Kyriakos Pierrakakis, at a special event at the National Gallery. It is available in over 31 languages, including the 24 official languages of the EU, as well as Albanian, Chinese, Japanese, Turkish, Hebrew, Arabic, and Korean. This ensures that visitors can easily navigate and explore Greece's rich tourism offerings in their own language.
Resources from the Recovery and Resilience Fund, earmarked for strengthening the country's digital transformation, were utilized for the project's implementation.
"mAiGreece" was designed using cutting-edge technologies based on artificial intelligence and cloud computing models. It was implemented in accordance with the Microsoft Responsible AI Standard, ensuring, among other things, transparency, fairness, respect for user privacy, and personal data protection (GDPR).
