Vietnam, the Philippines and Malaysia all have additional companies that meet the above conditions. According to the report, this region is in a good position for the development of the technology industry because of its young population with high digital skills and the ability to quickly adapt to digital solutions.

This is the fifth time the Government AI Readiness Index has been published, with the previous four having been released in 2017, 2019, 2020 and 2021.

The report assesses the AI readiness of governments from 181 countries in harnessing AI applications to operate and deliver their services. The index is used as a tool to compare the current state of government AI readiness in countries and regions across the globe to learn from useful experiences towards further development.
