For more than ten years, BCG reports have analyzed the connection between a country’s sustainable economic growth and citizen well-being. This year, we explore how AI will affect economies worldwide.
BCG’s AI Maturity Matrix helps policymakers analyze their economy’s place in the evolving global AI landscape by examining two critical dimensions: AI readiness and AI exposure. By understanding the factors that shape an economy’s AI progress, leaders can harness the technology to boost GDP, economic resilience, and competitiveness—as well as shape how humanity uses this powerfully disruptive technology.
This index provides a broad view of global adoption: the vast majority of economies are gradually embracing AI, but there is a small, influential group of AI pioneers that take their place at the forefront. No matter where they are in their AI journey, all economies can greatly enhance their AI know-how. Evaluating the many variables that shape AI in the public sector will help government leaders guide their countries forward.
The dashboard helps you easily view AI engagement and explore factors like sector deployment, exposure, investment, regulation, and readiness for disruption.
BCG’s new AI Maturity Matrix combines an economy’s exposure to AI with its readiness to handle AI disruption. Explore our assessment of 73 economies.
