# Government Launches 'AI for Everyone' Course and Free Access to AI Tools

## In brief

- The government has launched an online course titled 'AI for Everyone' to enhance digital literacy.
- The initiative also provides free access to advanced AI tools like ChatGPT Plus and Microsoft 365 Copilot.
- The programme aims to make artificial intelligence accessible to the general public.

The government has introduced a new initiative to promote digital literacy and access to artificial intelligence (AI) tools across the country. An online course, titled 'AI for Everyone' (or 'AI Għal Kulħadd' in Maltese), has been launched as part of this effort.

In addition to the course, the programme offers free access to advanced AI platforms, including ChatGPT Plus and Microsoft 365 Copilot. This move aims to democratise access to cutting-edge technology, allowing more individuals to explore and utilise AI capabilities.

The initiative reflects a broader strategy to integrate AI into daily life and work, ensuring that the Maltese public is equipped with the necessary skills for the evolving digital landscape.

The government has finalised a landmark agreement with OpenAI, making Malta the first country globally to secure a national deal with the artificial intelligence company. This partnership will provide every Maltese citizen and resident aged 14 and over with a free one-year subscription to ChatGPT Plus.

To access the premium AI tool, individuals must first complete a brief online course designed to educate them on the use of artificial intelligence. This initiative builds upon the previously announced 'AI for Everyone' course and broader efforts to make AI tools accessible to the public.
