The article focuses on two key issues. First, how advisory AI systems may tacitly become regulatory systems in practice. Second, if we aim to develop AI systems capable of making decisions of moral significance, which fundamental philosophical problems must first be addressed. These problems are organised around three main axes: the learning and incorporation of values and the prioritisation of decision-making criteria, the capacity to understand the concepts of ethics and justice, and the attribution of responsibility for the decisions and consequences arising from the operation of such systems.

Joseph Sifakis, the only Greek to have received the Turing Award, speaks to ATHENS VOICE and Alkis Gounaris about the philosophy and ethics of Artificial Intelligence. In this interview, he discusses the limits of machines, AGI, human intelligence, and Europe’s future role in AI research and development. [ATHENS VOICE, 2026]

Henry Shevlin’s appointment at Google DeepMind may mark the beginning of a new era, one in which philosophy is no longer confined to the ethics of AI but potentially enters the very heart of research into machine cognition and consciousness. [ATHENS VOICE, 2026]

Professor Yannis Kontos, a pioneer in Artificial Intelligence research in Greece, talks to Alkis Gounaris for ATHENS VOICE about the historical development of AI, its research challenges, and its future. [ATHENS VOICE, 2026]

What does the new US regulatory framework for artificial intelligence provide for, and why is it creating tensions between the Pentagon and AI companies? What does the Donald Trump administration propose regarding the protection of children, creative production, and businesses? Reading between the lines of official statements, against the backdrop of US military operations in Iran. [ATHENS VOICE, 2026]

What new dilemmas are arising from the use of AI in the war in Iran? Why does the possibility that computational speed might be inversely related to human responsibility and practical wisdom introduce a new crucial factor for evaluating hybrid decision-making systems? [ATHENS VOICE, 2026]

2025 was the year we stopped asking «what’s going on with artificial intelligence?» and started learning how to live with it. This is a look back at a pivotal year, one in which AI captured the spotlight across politics, education, and industry, and, above all, made its first, still experimental, move into the workplace.

The fourth industrial revolution redefines the relationship between the natural and the technological, shedding new light on Kubrick’s «monolith», which seems to be rooted in the very essence of human nature. This emerging condition raises important questions about human action, moral responsibility, and the nature of cognition itself. [ATHENS VOICE, 2025]

Artificial Intelligence is transforming Healthcare, from significant shifts in medical practice to a revolution in the design and manufacture of new medicines. However, while we are moving closer to a world where diseases are treated with greater precision, speed, and effectiveness than ever before, new and urgent ethical and social dilemmas are emerging. [ATHENS VOICE, 2025]

Everything the future holds for education is set to radically transform both the classroom and the knowledge environment more broadly, reshaping teaching practices and the students’ cognitive system. The optimistic view foresees saving teachers’ time, eliminating rote learning, and emphasising interpretation and critical thinking. Yet methodical steps and a clearly defined initial vision are essential. [ATHENS VOICE, 2025]
