Earlier today, we reported on how the Maltese Government was looking into making Malta one of the Top 10 in the Artificial intelligence sector. To help do this, they announced a collaboration with SingularityNET, the company behind Sophia the Robot. Along with this, they also formed an artificial intelligence task force to help build a national strategy for AI. Which means developing frameworks, ethics, and legislation on how, and when artificial intelligence can and will be deployed.

Should women be given a larger role in the ICT sector? Let us know in the comments below.
