Sources: 5. Developments: 2. Greek Government Spokesperson Pavlos Marinakis has raised concerns regarding the impact of artificial intelligence and misinformation on democratic processes and national interests. Initially, during the 1st Athens Media & Communications Summit, Marinakis addressed the risks posed by AI in the context of upcoming elections. He advocated for user identification on social media to combat fake news while maintaining that internet anonymity should not be abolished. He also emphasized the importance of accountable, signed journalism over anonymous content. In subsequent remarks at the Cyber Security Forum 2026, Marinakis expanded on these positions, calling for mandatory labeling of all AI-generated content and stating that “rules are an element of democracy.” To address misinformation, he highlighted the expansion of the “Cultivating Critical Readers” initiative to all schools, a program designed to teach news verification and critical thinking skills to high school students. He further noted that toxic public dialogue and sensationalism risk alienating citizens from informed political discourse. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-19: Pavlos Marinakis calls for AI content labeling and user identification Greek official Pavlos Marinakis called for mandatory AI content labeling and internet user identification to combat misinformation and protect national interests during the Cyber Security Forum 2026. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/pavlos-marinakis-calls-for-ai-content-labeling-and-user-identification ### 2026-10-02: Pavlos Marinakis warns of fake news and AI risks ahead of elections Greek Government Spokesperson Pavlos Marinakis called for increased vigilance against fake news and AI risks ahead of elections, advocating for social media user identification. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/pavlos-marinakis-warns-of-fake-news-and-ai-risks-ahead-of-elections --- Cite as: Greek government response to AI and misinformation.
