G. Georgopoulos (Piraeus): Gen AI is Changing Work and Redefining Productivity

George Georgopoulos of Piraeus emphasized that Generative Artificial Intelligence (Gen AI) has the potential to revolutionize productivity by disseminating AI tools throughout the organization. Gen AI is not merely an automation tool, but a means of empowering people, facilitating the creative use of technology. The bank is leveraging its collaboration with Microsoft to integrate artificial intelligence into its operations. However, Mr. Georgopoulos warned of the need to maintain balance, so that AI promotes creativity, critical thinking, and new ideas, rather than simply reproducing information. The integration of Gen AI into the organization's culture must be careful and targeted. Referring to the risks for leadership, Mr. Georgopoulos pointed out that distancing from daily processes can lead to a loss of contact with the real operation and the needs of the organization, even though it creates more time for strategic thinking. Leadership must remain connected to reality. In summary, Mr. Georgopoulos argued that the leaders of the future will be those who manage to combine the capabilities of technology with human creativity and judgment. Technology will not replace leaders, but it will replace those who do not understand and do not use new technologies correctly.
