The rules depend on use, risk and legal role.
Buying a third-party tool does not automatically remove your responsibilities. A business can be a deployer, provider or both in different circumstances.
Your team may already use AI in recruitment, customer service, content, finance or everyday operations. We help you identify what matters, understand where responsibility sits, and create a practical readiness plan without burying you in legal jargon.
AI is often introduced through familiar software, plugins and staff accounts. That makes it easy for responsibility to grow before anyone has documented what the system does or who owns the decision.
Buying a third-party tool does not automatically remove your responsibilities. A business can be a deployer, provider or both in different circumstances.
Without an inventory, approved-use policy and named owners, teams may expose personal data, rely on weak outputs or automate decisions without suitable review.
Your business deserves to benefit from AI while protecting customers, employees, commercial information and the people accountable for decisions.
We understand the frustration of being told to “be compliant” without being shown what that means for the software your team actually uses.
Since 1997, Mediamatic has helped businesses across Malta and Gozo understand, build and support changing digital systems. We connect the technical reality to clear ownership, sensible controls and evidence your management and professional advisers can work with.
We are not a law firm and do not sell legal certainty. Where formal legal interpretation, certification or regulatory action is needed, we identify that boundary and coordinate with the appropriately qualified adviser or body.
You do not need to understand every article of the AI Act before talking to us. Start with the tools and workflows your business uses today.
We identify systems, features, suppliers, business purposes, data access, users and affected people.
You receive: a working AI inventory.We screen for prohibited practices, consequential uses, transparency needs and gaps in ownership or oversight.
You receive: a prioritised risk and action summary.We help implement proportionate policies, review points, training, documentation and specialist escalation where required.
You receive: a realistic readiness roadmap.The goal is not a binder that sits on a shelf. It is a business that understands its AI use, makes better decisions and can respond credibly when customers, staff, partners or advisers ask questions.
Keep an understandable record of systems, purposes, owners, suppliers and risk decisions.
Define approved uses, restricted data, human review points and routes for raising concerns.
Prioritise the work that matters and avoid buying a high-risk programme for every ordinary tool.
AI literacy and prohibited-practice rules already apply, while other duties follow phased dates. The practical risk is not only a future penalty: it is allowing tools, data access and automated decisions to spread without ownership.
Malta's national framework also provides for significant maximum administrative and continuing penalties where applicable rules are infringed. These figures are not automatic fines for ordinary AI use, but they make early classification and proportionate governance worth taking seriously.
