OpenAI has signed a deal with the Maltese government to give all residents free access to its ChatGPT Plus service for one year, making Malta the first country to launch such a programme.
Residents will gain access after completing a free course on how to use artificial intelligence. The programme, which started in May, is expected to expand as more people complete the course. It is also open to Maltese citizens living abroad.
“We are turning an unfamiliar concept into practical assistance for our families, students, and workers,” Maltese Economy Minister Silvio Schembri said in an OpenAI statement. The company did not disclose the financial terms of the deal.
