Journal Article: “Concerned, Unprepared and Burdened by the Past: Generative AI in Greek Newsrooms” Minotakis

09.09.2025. Centre Member Alexandros Minotakis has published a new article on the use of generative AI in Greek news media,”Concerned, Unprepared and Burdened by the Past: Generative AI in Greek Newsrooms.” The abstract informs:
