Cyprus is moving forward with its Digital Assistant, steering clear of Cypriot work habits

Cyprus’ first AI assistant promises productivity, but let’s hope it doesn’t start taking coffee breaks or chatting about dinner plans.

The Digital Assistant is here! It's the first application of Productive Artificial Intelligence in the Cypriot public sector. Now, whether "productive" and "intelligence" can actually coexist in the Cypriot public service is something we'll have to see in practice. So, keep a small digital basket ready. Theoretically, this tireless digital assistant won’t take coffee breaks or chat on the phone about what it’s cooking for dinner. But, if the digital assistant starts adopting some Cypriot habits, communicating with it could be as complicated as getting a response from the Planning Department.

But can you imagine it actually responding with serious answers (not the usual "the responsible person is on leave, call back next week") and finding real solutions to citizens' questions? Oh, what a dream. We’re talking revolution. I love you, my digital assistant. I love you.

A reasonable question from one of our regular readers: If the digital citizen and digital assistant are so flawless, why not create a digital President, a digital Prince, a digital Fox of Argaka, and even digital communists? By the way, my neighbor’s mother’s friend asked if they’re planning on making digital housemaids too!

Concerns in the European Union because there are signs that Moscow has infiltrated and is manipulating European influencers. Some of us are only manipulated by the Americans, wrote the heartthrob of our hearts, Fidias, adding heart emojis to a photo hugging Elon Musk. All love.

As a result of our visit to the White House—and Fidias's friendship with Elon Musk—the Americans will provide us with military training in the future. Get ready to create our own Rambo, trained by the USA. Our enemies better tremble. Shake, our enemies, or "shake it," as Sakis used to say.

23,000 cars with faulty airbags from just two companies. Imagine what an awful number the total is. The recall of thousands of cars from Cypriot roads could be considered a huge success for the Minister of Transport. It was the magical recipe, the ace up the sleeve, for permanently solving traffic issues, since no car will be left on the road.

The fence built in the areas of the Buffer Zone to limit migration flows (also known as Nouris’s wire mesh) will begin to be dismantled by the responsible services in early January. It cost us a lot to set it up, and we have no idea how much it will cost to remove it. However, Sizopoulos requested parts of the wire mesh to close the new crossings.

The American government is on the brink of closure due to overwhelming debts in the trillions. Nicos Christodoulides, ever the generous soul, contacted President Biden (who still hasn’t left) and after consulting with Trump’s close advisor (to keep things “neutral”), offered to help financially. The Americans were moved and thought they were saved, but in the end, Mr. Keravnos said, "No, sorry!" The Vatican is also facing financial difficulties. Let’s hope they don’t resort to setting up bakeries and creperies.

Prince William and Kate’s family photo was chosen to send as a Christmas card to their fans and followers. Reading the news, I thought how I’d love to receive a card with our young Nikos and our stylish Philippa the First posing in front of the White House or at NATO Headquarters. That would surely break our enemies. Merry Xmas!
