04 Nov People of Greece – Weekly snapshot 19-25/10

The People of Greece platform surveyed Greek men and women on:

• the riots in France,
• the revelations about fixed basketball games,
• the safety of school buildings, following the closure of the school complex in Grava,
• the signing of the agreement between Turkey and Libya,
• the value of knowing how to use artificial intelligence applications, as well as the perceived consequences of using artificial intelligence in various fields.

What did the survey reveal?

News Awareness Index

Unrest in France

Different interpretations and sharp political divisions in Greece.

Fixed Basketball Games

Suspicion is almost universal; resignation is minimal.

Turkey-Libya Agreement

Greeks have conflicting views on the stance of the European Union and the United States toward Greece.

The Daedalus Supercomputer and Artificial Intelligence

We use it every day, yet as a society we fear it.

Walk the thought – what new questions do our findings raise?

• When does violence cease to be considered a byproduct of social protest and begin to undermine the political legitimacy of that protest?
• Is loyalty to the team stronger than trust in the integrity of the sport?
• Is tolerance of corruption a way of adapting to an environment where citizens believe that rules are often broken?
• When a school closes for safety reasons, do citizens view this primarily as a sign of failure or as a sign that safety mechanisms are working?
• How strong is the belief that Greece can rely on its international allies to defend its interests?
• Do younger people’s reservations about the impact of artificial intelligence on education reflect greater familiarity with the tool or greater concern about its consequences?
