As the core driving force of a new cycle of the scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation, artificial intelligence (AI) is profoundly altering the global innovation landscape and pattern of competition.
Against this backdrop, scientifically assessing and grasping the development trends and competitive strength of various countries in the field of AI is of great practical significance for understanding the development trends of global AI and formulating relevant policies. The International Finance Forum (IFF) has determined to inaugurate its Global AI Competitiveness Index Project, which is dedicated to building a comprehensive, objective, and quantifiable global system of assessing AI competitiveness and systematically evaluating and comparing the comprehensive strength and development potential of various countries in the field of AI via multi-dimensional indicators.
