Spotlight Series

In writing our flagship Government AI Readiness Index each year since 2018, the team at Oxford Insights comes across a huge variety of approaches to supporting and governing artificial intelligence from governments around the world. While we try to highlight some of this variety in each edition of our index, we can’t include as much detail as we would like on individual countries’ visions and attitudes toward AI policy.

To dig into this variety, we are providing an inside look into how countries around the world are enabling, supporting, and regulating AI. Over the coming weeks and months, we’ll be publishing a series of country spotlights, profiling individual countries’ AI efforts based on interviews with civil servants and policymakers from each country. While some baseline standards should be followed, we feel each country should tailor its approach to AI to fit its own culture and institutions, and we want to highlight these nuances in AI policy.

Our goal is to raise awareness of the different ways countries around the world are getting ready to adopt AI for the public good. We hope to build a library of experiences that policymakers across the globe can draw upon in their work on AI. Many countries may share common challenges, and we hope our work can facilitate international collaboration and the sharing of learnings on AI.

This page will be updated with links to every country spotlight we post, so keep checking for updates!
