Summary

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has fast become a phenomenon across the globe. As a specific type of technology, it raises various legal implications from data protection, cybersecurity to intellectual property implications. With the coming into force of the EU AI Act, businesses investing in AI now also have a regulatory aspect to consider.

Our technology lawyers are monitoring developments in this field both at a local level and an EU level and applying their legal expertise in different areas to address the legal implications posed by AI.

The AI Act

Artificial Intelligence will now be regulated on an EU level under an EU Regulation, the first-ever legislation on AI aimed at addressing the risks created by AI. The new rules are aimed at AI developers and deployers which must be aware of the level of risk of their AI systems and any obligations which they must abide by.

Whilst AI systems may pose certain risks to users, a robust legislative framework can mitigate these risks through specific obligations on providers, while simultaneously encouraging investment in the field and a more legal certainty for businesses in the AI industry.

National Strategy

The national AI strategy for Malta was launched in 2019 with the title ‘Strategy and Vision for Artificial Intelligence in Malta 2030’. Malta has always been at the forefront of regulating and planning incentives aimed at new technologies. Thus, the strategy focused on three strategic pillars and three strategic enablers to encourage investment, innovation and adoption in the field. The ethical aspects of AI applications were also addressed through the Malta Ethical AI Framework, aimed at establishing principles to ensure the governance of AI.

Currently, the Malta Digital Innovation Authority (MDIA), as the leading entity on Malta’s implementation of the AI Act, is carrying out a re-alignment of the national AI strategy and vision. Our lawyers are monitoring the development of such strategy, given the recent legislative initiatives on AI.

Our Vision

We are committed to being first movers in the AI field, striving to encompass AI within technology transformations by studying, testing and deploying several AI technologies. Our firm strongly believes that holding back due to lack of legal, risk and compliance guidance is a risk as competitors overtake by being first movers.

Dr Natasha Cachia’s experience in Financial services in Malta were invaluable to Porterpays team as we establish our business here in Malta. They have worked in a professional manner and were constantly supportive and open to understand new innovative ways in payments and provided us with a stellar advice.

I have had the pleasure of having Chetcuti Cauchi as my lawyers for my Maltese Citizenship application and also for property acquisition in Malta. I am extremely satisfied with their professionalism and attention to detail at all times making them, in my experience, one of the best law firms I have ever dealt with anywhere. I am truly honoured to be their client and shall continue to remain so.

Not only do Chetcuti Cauchi have experience, they’re academically proficient as well. They offer a wide variety of different expertise.

Antoine is very professional and knows his field of expertise very well.

My  wife and I have an association with Chetcuti Cauchi since 2009. They assisted  us with our original residence permit applications for Malta and since then  have taken care of our annual income tax submissions and PR sticker /  E-residence card renewals. They always handle our matters very efficiently  and professionally. The consultants that work with us are friendly, helpful  and very competent. They are familiar with the regulations and procedures in  the related government departments, and this makes the process run extremely  smoothly for us. We are very satisfied with the service we received from  Chetcuti Cauchi and will continue to maintain our relationship with them in  future. We can highly recommend them for any of the services that they offer.

I  highly recommend the services of Chetcuti Cauchi. They assisted me as my  appointed Resident Agent with the MDIA, they fully understood my requirements  and also have a great reputation as a top law firm in Malta, making them an  ideal chioce.

Dr. Chetcuti has always shown great wisdom and knowledge. He’s remarkably courteous and client-oriented.

The professionalism and international collaboration of Chetcuti Cauchi’s team are a testament to their cohesive corporate culture. They are prompt in communication and consistently reliable, always delivering on their promises and never committing to tasks they cannot fulfil. This dependability gives us great peace of mind at the start of every project. In particular, we have been working with Magdalena Velkovska and Antoine Saliba Haig, who have been pivotal in building our trust in CC.

Jean-Philippe was a key advisor to me on the general European and in particular Maltese related tax, legal, accounting and secretarial aspects of a rather complex corporate group structure. We were operating in an extremely dynamic situation, and I was most grateful for his patience and understanding when we had to scrap the last idea and start all over again. He is highly professional, responsive and is excellent at finding practical solutions to difficult situations, whatever the time of day or night. He also has an excellent relationship with his team, and the service provided by his firm is intelligent, joined up and seamless. He is good humoured and imminently likeable and I look forward to working with him again in the future.

Chetcuti  Cauchi has embraced a flexible and modern approach to hybrid working. Rather  than prescribe a set number of office days, the firm empowers employees to  exercise their judgement in how they manage their working schedule. So long  as underlying principles of providing an excellent client service and a  collaborative team environment are met, employees have a great degree of  freedom in how, and where, they work.
