Malta Government
AI powering tools for computers to process and understand Maltese
The Maltese government launched its vision and strategy for AI less than a year ago, and by 2030, AI solutions will be a highly valued and trusted part of everyday life in Malta. The Malta Digital Innovation Authority (MDIA) is overseeing its implementation to build trust in how AI works and enhance the general readiness to adopt AI solutions in everyday lives. One of the key flagship projects to be launched shortly, in close cooperation with the University of Malta, is the development of Maltese language digital resources and tools. A 2013 report by Michael Rosner and Jan Joachimsen assessed the position of the Maltese language in digital media, particularly the extent to which it is used and, more importantly, the extent to which such use is supported by the deployment of tools and resources. The conclusions deduced from the results of this analysis were that the level of technological support for Maltese, compared with that for other European languages, is extremely low, giving rise to the threat of "digital extinction" for the language.
Maltese Prime Minister looks at Artificial Intelligence as a benefit to blockchain technology
Recently at the Delta Summit, the Prime Minister of Malta, Joseph Muscat spoke about the blockchain technology and the need for governments to understand the need for regulation. He also mentioned that Artificial Intelligence and best-in-class regulatory framework were the areas that were next in focus for the Malta government. The Prime Minister stated that the Artificial Intelligence technology can be beneficial to the blockchain industry. "We are sure that with AI we can replicate and improve what we are doing now here with blockchain." Joseph stated that they were moving away from a business model based on "decentralization of data."
