Abstract

In 2017, Oxford Insights created the world’s first Government AI Readiness Index, to answer the question: how well placed are national governments to take advantage of the benefits of AI in their operations and delivery of public services? The results sought to capture the current capacity of governments to exploit the innovative potential of AI. The 2019 Government AI Readiness Index, produced with the support of the International Development Research Centre (IDRC), sees a development of the Government AI Readiness Index methodology, and an expansion of scope to cover all UN countries (from its previous group of OECD members). It scores the governments of 194 countries and territories according to their preparedness to use AI in the delivery of public services.
