Malta offers all citizens free ChatGPT Plus access for a year

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The program raises questions about whether it represents sound human capital policy or a state-sponsored customer acquisition strategy for OpenAI. AI

IMPACT This initiative could set a precedent for other nations to integrate AI tools as public utilities, potentially accelerating widespread AI adoption and skill development.
