The companies Microsoft, Cisco and Amazon Web Services have already decided to
invest large digital infrastructures in our country. Let's get ready for everything
the exciting ones that follow.
Using the parallelism of the intelligence difference between
of our evolutionary cousin the chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes) and today's
man (Homo Sapiens), who defeated and surpassed Home
Erectus, so also the hybrids Homo Cyberneticus, i.e. of the hybrid
human-artificial intelligence (or Homo AI/AS, hold those
denominations), will surpass the people of today. Maybe later we won't
annihilate, but they will certainly have today's Homo Sapiens as their servants.
The example is far-fetched but it sets the reasoning needed for
to proceed immediately ... to future!
We Greeks, sons of Odysseus, Aristotle, Papathanasios, who
we produce talented minds like Negroponte and Caratheodoris, we must
we evolve with the rapid steps of the evolution of good technology, of
artificial intelligence, open big data and so many others that
we include them in the term 4th industrial revolution. The assimilation of young people
technological developments of the 4th industrial age already has ENOUGH at
advanced Asian countries (Singapore, Korea, China, Japan, etc.), the
America and in the advanced European countries, even in a more local cluster
level. We must understand in our country that this next future
era already marked, it has already reached a level a year ago
prototypes, and they are not at all far from us, as well it happens
already! We will begin to see the results within the next decade
we are going, so fast, as mere importers if we don't act.
The danger is that if we do not make the moves as a State and society
in today's fast-paced world, with investments and appropriate
substantial and practical education, with a modern legal, legal and
institutional framework that prepares us for the world of the future, probably
we become economic servants of the rest of the peoples (mainly Asian) soon,
to an extent that we don't even want to imagine, unfortunately co-opted
from the tragic imprint we will see shortly of our demographics.
Must DO NOT we look at the technologically advanced like the chimpanzee to him
man! Let us always remain <human> throughout the spectrum of the four pillars (culture, economy, security, society) of the Greek nation-
of our state and where the ubiquitous Hellenism is located, in a modern world that has many technological "chimpanzees"... we, let's evolve rapidly.
The Greek spirit of scholarship must soon evolve with seriousness
private and government efforts in the environment and education of
citizens, as key fields that create surplus value in our economy, so
to universally turn to the technological use of applications that
the new technologies of the 4th industrial revolution give. To
perform more optimally, there needs to be a universal shift towards
understanding of technological applications, and in all sciences, of course
the humanities with the use of new electronic applications.
The Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis certifies with his actions that he has fully understood the necessity of adapting to the new era. It is therefore necessary for him to receive support in order to remain in the helm of the country, in order to lead it more and more dynamically to digitization. We still have a long way to go to maintain hopes "to catch the speeding technological train». Investments such as those Microsoft, Cisco and Amazon Web Services are very important, they must be relied upon to send the right message to the rest giant investors.
We need digital infrastructure more than ever. Right its 25%
Recovery fund concerns digital infrastructure and its applications
information. The Strategic Investments Bill appears to have
understand that the mix of the economy needs to change and support
innovation and high-tech investment areas. Unless
we want to become servants of other peoples in future, if we want to
we are part of the eu/good future that is coming, let the domestic one be drafted
scientific, technological and academic community with partnerships and
synergies needed with its biggest players and investors
relevant business landscape for the production of economic units that
related to digital evolution and data use.
The era of artificial intelligence has finally arrived, and the 4th industrial
revolution will make it part of our work and our daily lives. Let
welcome with fervor the effort of the Mitsotakis government, so that the good
future to invite it to come directly to our homeland.
