malta ai policy

Malta AI policy refers to the Maltese government's initiative to provide free access to AI tools like ChatGPT Plus and Microsoft Copilot to citizens and residents who complete a two-hour AI literacy course from the University of Malta. Announced on May 16, 2026, this program is a partnership with OpenAI and Microsoft, aiming to treat AI access as civic infrastructure. The policy tests whether widespread AI tool adoption can boost productivity, making Malta a potential model for other European nations. Discussions on WindowsForum highlight this as a unique experiment in national AI strategy, focusing on practical access rather than theoretical planning.
