Which Countries Are Most Prepared For AI? 🤖

What We're Showing

The top 10 countries most prepared for AI, according to the International Monetary Fund (IMF)'s AI Preparedness Index.

The index covers 174 countries as of 2023, and draws from data from eight institutions, including the International Labour Organization, World Bank, World Economic Forum, and more.

Measuring AI Preparedness

The AI Preparedness Index is the average of four key metrics:

  • digital infrastructure
  • human capital
  • technological innovation
  • legal frameworks

Each metric has a set of sub-indicators, including, but not limited to, sustained human capital investment, inclusive STEM expertise, a vibrant R&D ecosystem, and the adaptability of legal frameworks to digital business models.

Singapore ranks first as the country most prepared for smooth AI adoption.

The country has invested hundreds of millions of dollars into boosting AI capabilities and supporting national AI strategies, and its workers are the world's fastest in adopting AI skills, according to LinkedIn.

The Singapore government has even developed a suite of general-purpose AI tools for public service officers, while adhering to strict security standards.

Besides Singapore, Northwestern European countries like Denmark (#2), Netherlands (#4), Estonia (#5), and Finland (#6) also scored high for AI preparedness.
