OpenAI and Malta partner to bring ChatGPT Plus to all citizens

Share

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. By pairing this education with free access to the most advanced digital tools available today, we are turning an unfamiliar concept into practical assistance for our families, students, and workers. Malta is the first country to launch a partnership of this scale because we refuse to let our citizens stay behind in the digital age. We are putting our people at the very forefront of global change.”

“With this partnership, Malta is leading Europe and the world in bringing AI to all its citizens” said George Osborne, Head of OpenAI for Countries. “Intelligence is becoming a national utility and all governments have an important role to play in making sure their populations have both the access and the skills to make the most of AI. So I congratulate the Maltese authorities for their vision and ambition on behalf of their people. This is exactly the kind of strategic initiative that will speed AI adoption and bring the benefits of this transformative technology to the economy and the everyday lives of people. Where Malta leads, I hope others will follow.”

The partnership reflects a growing recognition by countries that want practical ways to help people build confidence using AI and how to apply it to real tasks. Malta’s model of AI adoption brings together a locally designed course, a clear route to access ChatGPT Plus, and a national programme intended to help citizens use AI with confidence in ways that support learning, work, creativity, and public participation.

The partnership, tailored to Malta’s needs and national AI priorities, is the latest under the OpenAI for Countries initiative, OpenAI’s work to support governments and institutions as they move from early AI interest to strategic national adoption. Rather than a one-size-fits-all model, OpenAI for Countries is built around local priorities, whether that means education, workforce training, public services, startup support, or AI literacy. OpenAI is already working with governments in countries like Estonia and Greece to support their national education systems.
