Six Measurement Pillars
P1 — Research & Innovation
Publications, citation impact, patents, and responsible-AI research output.
P2 — Talent & Skills
AI talent concentration, skill penetration, and AI hiring demand.
P3 — Governance & Regulation
Digital-government capacity (World Bank GovTech) and AI legislative activity.
P4 — AI Economy & Investment
Private AI investment and newly funded AI companies.
P5 — Infrastructure & Compute
Frontier compute concentration: national training compute and cluster power.
