The Federation of Employers and Industrialists (OEB) of Cyprus announced the launch of a public consultation on the National Strategy for Artificial Intelligence (AI), prepared by the National AI Taskforce. The Taskforce was established by a decision of the Council of Ministers (No. decision 97.538, date 22/1/2025), chaired by the Chief Scientist for Research, Innovation and Technology, with eleven members from the public and private sectors, academia, and research communities.
