What do our children imagine, think and feel about artificial intelligence? Is it a robot, a smart device that disappears into the environment or a way of thinking? Can students take the future into their own hands? And if so, what will it look like?

The Onassis Foundation in collaboration with the Open Technologies Organization is supporting the third student open technology competition on the theme of Artificial Intelligence, a topic crucial to society, the economy and human life. Following the “You and AI” exhibition at Pedion tou Areos, where we explored AI as a key component and an open question for the 21st century man, we are asking students to design AI technologies or talk about their view of AI through the use of open technologies and tools.

More than 120 schools from all over Greece present the results of their efforts and invite us to see the future through their eyes their robots’.
