On Friday September 12th 2025 I had the great privilege of attending a landmark conversation about the future of AI and it's impact on our society between:
- Kyriakos Mitsotakis, Prime Minister of Greece- Sir Demis Hassabis, CEO of Google DeepMind & 2024 Nobel Laureate.
The event took place at one of the most amazing venues in the world, the Odeon of Herodes Atticus in Athens, was moderated by Linda Rottenberg, CEO of Endeavor Global and hosted by Peggy Antonakou, Regional General Manager of Google in Greece.

Sir Demis Hassabis is an artificial intelligence researcher, entrepreneur, and Nobel Laureate. He is the co-founder and CEO of Google DeepMind. DeepMind, one of the world’s leading AI companies, was founded in 2010 and acquired by Google in January 2014, and is now central to Google’s AI efforts.
DeepMind has achieved numerous landmark AI breakthroughs such as AlphaGo, the first program to beat the world champion at the game of Go, and AlphaFold, which solved the 50-year grand challenge of protein structure prediction by accurately predicting the 3D shape of proteins, critical for disease understanding and drug discovery.
Demis has won many prestigious international awards for his research work including the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for protein structure prediction. In 2017 Demis featured in the Time 100 list of most influential people, and in 2024 he was awarded a knighthood for services to AI.
