Artificial Intelligence

Our firm has extensive expertise in navigating the evolving regulatory and legal frameworks governing artificial intelligence (AI) in Greece and the EU. We specialize in compliance with the proposed EU AI Act, GDPR, Greek Law 4624/2019 on data protection, and sector-specific guidelines for AI deployment in regulated industries such as healthcare, fintech, and autonomous systems.

Our team advises on complex issues, including algorithmic accountability, liability for AI-driven decisions under Greek Civil Code provisions, and intellectual property (IP) protection for AI-generated works. We have supported clients in developing and deploying AI technologies in key sectors, including predictive analytics in logistics, AI-powered diagnostic tools in healthcare, and autonomous maritime systems, ensuring legal compliance and operational success.

We provide comprehensive legal services for the entire AI lifecycle, including drafting and negotiating contracts for the design, development, and licensing of AI systems. Our firm assists with compliance strategies for transparency and fairness obligations under the proposed EU AI Act, particularly for high-risk AI applications such as automated decision-making and biometric identification.

We also address cross-border data transfer issues under GDPR and the Schrems II framework, advising on Binding Corporate Rules (BCRs) and Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs). Additionally, we offer guidance on certification requirements, public procurement of AI systems, and the ethical implications of deploying AI in sensitive areas such as law enforcement, education, and healthcare.

Greece is actively fostering the development of AI technologies, supported by the National Artificial Intelligence Strategy and funding under the EU’s Digital Europe Programme and Horizon Europe. Recent advancements include initiatives for integrating AI into public administration, predictive maintenance in maritime logistics, and precision agriculture. Legal challenges include ensuring compliance with GDPR for automated data processing, addressing cybersecurity risks under the NIS2 Directive, and adhering to AI system certification requirements as outlined in the EU AI Act.

Significant business opportunities exist in AI-driven innovations, including smart city solutions, autonomous shipping systems, and personalized healthcare applications. Greece’s strategic position as a logistics hub and its strong maritime sector offer unique prospects for AI integration in predictive analytics and operational optimization. Incentives under the Recovery and Resilience Facility and the National Digital Transformation Strategy further enhance the investment potential in this dynamic sector.
