Greece Issues New School AI Rules, Bans Listed Uses and Requires AI Coordinators

Greece introduced new rules governing artificial intelligence use in schools, setting clear limits on how students and teachers can use tools such as ChatGPT in the classroom. The framework follows a year-long pilot in around 20 public and model high schools, keeps AI use voluntary, and bars AI from grading and performance assessments. Schools must designate an AI Use Coordinator, and entering minors' names, photographs, voice recordings, grades and health information into AI applications is prohibited.

This is a national-level move to bring generative AI into routine school governance, directly affecting teachers' daily instruction, student assignments and exam rules, and the compliance conditions for AI education products entering Greek schools. For product providers, the bans on entering minors' sensitive data, behavioural profiling and fully automated assessment set clear data and feature red lines; for schools, the coordinator and teacher training requirements mean new administrative roles and capacity-building costs. Limitations: the original text does not disclose the effective date, the covered grade levels, penalties for violations, or any quantitative learning results from the pilot. Greek schools must adjust assignment, exam and assessment processes, define where AI is allowed or banned, and designate an AI Use Coordinator to implement the rules. AI education products serving Greek schools must avoid processing minors' sensitive data, behavioural profiling and fully automated assessment, raising the compliance threshold.
