Intelligence | Global AI Index
The Global AI Index
The first index to benchmark nations on their level of investment, innovation and implementation of artificial intelligence.

Making sense of artificial intelligence…
on a global scale
The artificial intelligence revolution will transform business, government and society – and this year it’s taken a huge leap forward. The rise of ChatGPT and the ensuing arms race between big tech companies to develop their own generative AI models has led to a very public debate about how best to manage the risks of this new technology. There’s been a lot of talk, but little understanding.
The Global AI Index aims to make sense of artificial intelligence in 62 countries that have chosen to invest in it. It’s the first ever ranking of countries based on three pillars of analysis; investment, innovation and implementation. This is the fourth iteration of the index.
Implementation
Talent focuses on the availability of skilled practitioners in artificial intelligence solutions.
Infrastructure assesses the reliability and scale of access infrastructure, from electricity and internet to supercomputing capabilities.
Operating Environment focuses on the regulatory context and public opinion on artificial intelligence.
Innovation
Research looks at the extent of specialist research and researchers, including numbers of publications and citations in credible academic journals.
Development focuses on the development of fundamental platforms and algorithms upon which innovative artificial intelligence projects rely.
Investment
Government Strategy gauges the depth of commitment from national governments to artificial intelligence; investigating spending commitments and national strategies.
Commercial focuses on the level of startup activity, investment and business initiatives based on artificial intelligence.
