Oxford Insights have been publishing the Government AI Readiness Index since 2017, to track the continued proliferation of AI strategies globally as governments have begun to recognise AI as a priority technology. The 2024 index explores this readiness by examining 40 indicators across three core pillars: Government, Technology Sector, and Data & Infrastructure. It highlights progress, identifies gaps, and provides actionable insights for policymakers striving to integrate AI into public service delivery.<\/p>

In this 2025 edition, the Index aims to answer a new research question that is to what extent can a government harness AI to benefit the public? It shows how government is engaging in multiple ways to leverage AI for citizen benefit. From public services, to sectoral use-cases in education and health, and the important role of government in building the skills and expertise for the 21st century digital economy<\/p>

The 2025 Index is exploring government readiness by examining 69 Indicators across 14 Dimensions within six core Pillars: Policy Capacity, Governance, AI Infrastructure, Public Sector Adoption, Development and Diffusion, and Resilience. The diagram below shows the in interaction among these six pillars and its corresponding dimensions.<\/p>
