Malta just became the first country to offer ChatGPT Plus to every citizen - free for a year.

The only requirement: complete an AI literacy course first.

The course was built by the University of Malta, not by OpenAI. So it's not a vendor training citizens to use vendor products. It's a national institution teaching AI fundamentals, with tool access as the incentive to finish.

Honest take: I find this a very exciting project. I'm curious about the results, how it will affect AI usage and the intelligence of young people.
