Description
The Global AI Index is the first index designed to benchmark nations based on their level of investment, innovation, and implementation of artificial intelligence (AI). Launched by Tortoise Media, this index aims to make sense of the rapidly evolving AI landscape on a global scale. As the AI revolution transforms business, government, and society, the index provides a comprehensive overview of how different countries are positioning themselves in this competitive arena.

In its fifth iteration, the Global AI Index evaluates 83 countries, scoring them based on 122 indicators grouped into three main pillars: Implementation, Innovation, and Investment. The index tracks the progress of nations over time, allowing stakeholders to see who is leading and who is falling behind in the global AI race. The United States and China continue to dominate the rankings, holding the first and second positions respectively, with significant gaps in their scores compared to other nations.
The index not only highlights the absolute AI capacity of countries but also assesses their relative performance based on population and economic size. This dual approach allows smaller nations, such as Singapore and Israel, to excel in 'Intensity' rankings, while larger countries like the US and China lead in 'Scale'. The Global AI Index is crucial for understanding national AI capacities and strategies, providing valuable insights for policymakers, researchers, and businesses alike.
The Global AI Index is underpinned by rigorous data collection from 24 different public and private sources, ensuring a robust and reliable framework for analysis. It serves as a vital tool for countries looking to enhance their AI capabilities and for organizations seeking to understand the global AI landscape. With the ongoing developments in AI technology and investment, the index remains a key resource for anyone interested in the future of artificial intelligence.
