In recent years, one of the most significant technological disruptions to hit education has been the rise of artificial intelligence.

Since the launch of ChatGPT in late 2022, along with the spread of image generators and advanced writing tools, these systems can now produce essays, solve complex problems, and create content that rivals human work.

While being an asset to expedite certain jobs, AI has also created problems in several spheres, not least the education system, where concerns over plagiarism and lack of student input are of concern.

Nonetheless, academic institutions are embracing the AI revolution, while ensuring its use is ethical.

A proposed 10-storey hotel in Paceville would dominate views of the Augustinian convent and Villa Rosa, photomontages presented by the developer show.

The photomontages were requested by the Superintendence of Cultural Heritage. They illustrate the visual impact of the proposed hotel on the scheduled Villa Rosa and the Augustinian convent.

The hotel is being proposed in place of a villa and its extensive green grounds located near St Rita’s chapel and the Augustinian convent. The site lies less than 40 metres from the upper entrance of Villa Rosa.

The war in Ukraine and illegal immigration are the top concerns for EU citizens, including the Maltese, according to a Eurobarometer survey.

Maltese respondents are also the most likely in the EU to view the Middle East (ME) conflict as a key challenge—while only 18% of Europeans overall see it as the EU’s main challenge, 31% of Maltese consider it a priority.

Across Europe, concern over the ME conflict ranges from 11% in Latvia to 31% in Malta.

Respondents could select up to three main challenges from a list of 11. In Malta, 48% cited the war in Ukraine and irregular migration as the top concerns, followed by inflation (35%), the Middle East conflict (31%), climate change (30%), and security and defence (29%).

Journalism that matters

Malta's source for breaking news, political and current affairs, investigation and intelligent debate. MaltaToday was first published on Friday, 19 November 1999. It was edited by Saviour Balzan and founded to provide a new, liberal alternative to the English-language press in circulation, by promoting an agenda in favour of EU accession and critical voices excluded from the establishment.

MaltaToday was published every week on Friday, positioning itself as a weekend newspaper for two years before it decided to enter the market of English-language Sunday newspapers, until then dominated by the Sunday Times and the Malta Independent on Sunday.

In late 2003, Saviour Balzan purchased MaltaToday from Network Publications, and with the addition of Roger de Giorgio as co-shareholder and director, formerly the CEO of the Nationalist party’s TV station Net TV, became Mediatoday. MaltaToday’s reputation for uncovering political abuse and financial excess, as in the case of the Price Club scandal, was tested by numerous libel suits. Coping under pain of the financial stress of the libel laws, still squarely set against the freedom of the press, became a state of reality for MaltaToday.

On 17 May 2005, it was hit by the unexpected death of senior journalist Julian Manduca, one of Malta’s foremost environmental activists. A focal point of the newspaper, Manduca is remembered with fondness by the staff at Mediatoday, both for his humane interest in many social issues and his journalistic integrity.
