City AI Readiness: Deep Dive into Abu Dhabi and the Global Landscape
The first step towards a City AI Readiness Index: a qualitative deep dive into how Abu Dhabi and five global cities are preparing for AI.
Read the reportSince 2017, our Government AI Readiness Index has helped national governments understand how prepared they are for AI. Now we are extending that work to the subnational level.
Cities are where the impact of AI on everyday life is felt most directly, yet their readiness has not been systematically captured. Through the City AI Readiness programme, Oxford Insights aims to build a rigorous, evidence-based understanding of what it takes for a city to harness AI for the benefit of its residents and economy, and to help cities learn from one another.
The programme combines in-depth research with measurement. It begins with a qualitative study examining how cities around the world are approaching AI, and will lead to the City AI Readiness Index, a framework designed to make city-level AI readiness measurable and comparable over time.
