In his presentation, “Observing GenAI: A Proposal for Teaching Ancient Greek Literature,” Giannadakis proposed a framework specifically focused on the teaching of Ancient Greek literature through the critical use of Generative AI (GenAI) multimedia in secondary education. Drawing on multimodality and AI literacy, he demonstrated how comparing AI-generated images, digital storybooks, and music with primary sources—such as the Homeric epic, Plato’s imagery, or Euripides’ Trojan Women—can act as a catalyst for a deeper return to the original text. This method enables students to understand how GenAI works while gaining a deep understanding of the original text, as they must rely on the primary source to identify “hallucinations” and biases and to “criticize” the AI-generated product, thereby fostering a critical, ethical stance toward AI tools.
