The GovTech AI Sandbox pilot aims to tackle critical barriers to innovation in user-centric public services. Public sector organisations face significant challenges in effectively deploying and scaling AI solutions, which can limit the impact of technological advancements meant to enhance services for citizens. The sandbox is expected to significantly improve of Greek public sector organisations in effectively deploying and testing AI solutions.

This pilot programme is being implemented to responsibly test AI solutions and gather information on the potential opportunities and risks of using this technology in the public sector. The pilot iteration of the programme involves 14 public sector organisations and the development of six concepts exploring possible future interactions between the public sector and artificial intelligence.

The Action Plan of Digital Transformation 2023-2026 includes the development of Experimental Regulatory Environments for AI. The first step of this project involved preparing a feasibility study for establishing an AI sandbox; the study proposed a set of legislative and technical tools, including a legal framework on the AI sandbox, necessary personnel capacities, and technical requirements. Based on this study, the preparatory phase of this pilot project is scheduled for 2025.

The Data Sandbox managed by the Malta Digital Innovation Authority will provide a secure and controlled environment for organisations to experiment with data-driven technologies while adhering to data protection laws. The initiative will provide guidance on best practices for responsible data use, enabling companies to safely explore new technological applications.
