The index,
issued by
British Oxford Insights, assesses the countries based on three
significant pillars and 10 dimensions, including government, digital capacity,
innovation capacity, human capital, infrastructure, and data availability, building
on 42 indicators to measure the willingness of governments to apply artificial
intelligence in the provision of public services to their citizens.
Jordan
scored its highest, 56.56, in areas of data and infrastructure, in terms of
data availability and infrastructure security for the operation of artificial
intelligence tools, and a relatively lower score of 38.31 in the technology
sector and supporting innovation in a
business environment. It also scored
lower in regard to the strategic vision to develop artificial intelligence and
adaptability.
The index
pointed out the backlash of the pandemic, both regionally and worldwide, during
last year, particularly the changes that took place in education, where several
countries in the region developed e-learning platforms, such as “Darsak” in
Jordan, and shows that such initiatives reflect the broader commitment of
government to digitize their services.
