  • Some key data points, about Malta:

    Malta is among Europe's leading adopters. The country ranks first for workplace AI usage and third overall for general AI adoption. Beyond AI, Malta also has one of the highest rates of social media usage in Europe.

    This initiative is less about AI literacy or OpenAI and more reflective of the Malta government's policy of making technology accessible across all society.

    It's not the first time either, in the early 2000s a similar partnership with Microsoft which provided heavily subsidized microsoft office licenses.

  • We had a mandatory ChatGPT training course at work. You had to sign up in limited space classes. This is a large company, needless to say it was chaos to get a significant number of people to participate.

    I got a spot. We were shown how to copy and paste data from excel and other data sources into the chat interface. We had sample data to work with, there was always someone in class who would say "mine didn't work." The developers in the room asked about codex, the instructor said she wasn't a developer.

    We did get a certificate though. There was nothing they could teach that you couldn't learn by using the free version in your own time. Whatever they are doing with the Maltese government is just to increase the monthly active user count.
