OpenAI and the Maltese government have announced a groundbreaking agreement that will give all citizens of the island nation free access to the paid version of ChatGPT for one year. This is part of a government-led AI literacy program.
To receive this benefit, citizens and residents registered with Malta's online identity system need to complete a free online course called "AI for All." Developed by the University of Malta, this course aims to help people understand the nature of AI, its capabilities and limitations, and how to use it responsibly in their work and lives.
"By providing one of the most advanced digital tools available today, we are transforming a foreign concept into practical support for families, students, and workers," said Silvio Schembri, Malta's Minister for Economy , Enterprise and Strategic Projects, in a press release.
The agreement is noted as the first partnership of its kind in the world . George Osborne, head of "OpenAI for Countries"—an OpenAI initiative focused on local priorities—commented: "Malta is leading the way in demonstrating how countries can empower their citizens to benefit from the transformative potential of AI."
This partnership is part of a growing trend among governments to help citizens build confidence in using AI in everyday tasks. Prior to this, several countries had already taken similar steps in 2025, such as Iceland partnering with Anthropic to grant all teachers access to the Claude virtual assistant to support lesson planning and classroom management; Greece collaborating with OpenAI to introduce the technology into high schools and startups; and the UK signing a memorandum of understanding with Anthropic to improve how citizens access and interact with online public services.
Through this program, Malta's Digital Innovation Agency hopes to bridge the technology gap, helping the island nation's citizens become pioneers in the age of artificial intelligence.
