OpenAI and the Government of Malta are today announcing a world’s first partnership to roll out ChatGPT Plus to all Maltese citizens. The initiative will provide access to intelligence and empower citizens through an AI literacy course to build practical AI skills and benefit from the technology in their everyday lives.

At OpenAI, we’re turning intelligence into a global utility. We believe that, like electricity, intelligence should be available for people, businesses, and institutions to use as much as they need, where and when they need it. That vision only matters if people can actually use these tools in ways that improve their own lives and communities.

Malta’s AI for All initiative⁠(opens in a new window) will offer people of all backgrounds the opportunity to learn how AI can be used responsibly through a course developed by the University of Malta. The course is designed to help people understand what AI is, what it can and can’t do, and how to use it responsibly at home and work. After the course is completed, citizens can access ChatGPT Plus for one year at no cost to them.

The first phase of the programme will launch in May, with the Malta Digital Innovation Authority managing distribution to eligible participants. The programme will scale as more Maltese residents and citizens abroad complete the course.

The Maltese Minister for Economy, Enterprise and Strategic Projects, Silvio Schembri said, “Through this AI for everyone course we are making sure that every citizen, regardless of their background, has the chance to build the confidence and skills needed to thrive in a digital world.
