Malta forms AI Governance Council to put people at the centre of AI adoption

GovInsider · · International · AI Governance

Malta has established an AI Governance Council aimed at centering human interests in how the country adopts artificial intelligence. The council appears intended to guide national AI policy and oversight.

Why this matters: Small countries setting up AI governance bodies matter more than they look. Malta is an EU member state, and the structures it builds now will shape how AI gets used in public services that real people depend on. The name sounds reassuring — 'people at the centre' — but the test is what the council can actually do. Can it slow or stop harmful deployments? Who sits on it? Who does it answer to? Good branding is easy. Binding oversight is hard.
