The AI Preparedness Index (AIPI) measures a country’s readiness for AI adoption by evaluating key macro-structural indicators. It encompasses four crucial dimensions: digital infrastructure, human capital, technological innovation, and legal frameworks. Each dimension is derived by normalizing and averaging various sub-indicators, such as robust digital infrastructure, ongoing human capital investment, inclusive STEM education, labour and capital mobility, a dynamic R&D environment, and adaptable legal systems for digital businesses. Together, these factors provide a comprehensive assessment of how well-positioned a nation is to integrate AI into its economy.
