National Artificial Intelligence (AI) Assessment
The National Artificial Intelligence (AI) Assessment is a country-wide initiative led by the Ministry of Public Administration and Artificial Intelligence (MPAAI) to evaluate national readiness for the responsible, ethical, and inclusive adoption of AI. The Assessment provides a structured understanding of the country’s AI ecosystem, governance frameworks, institutional capacity, and societal impact, and will inform policy development, investment priorities, and long-term national AI strategy.
Partnerships and Global Methodologies
AI affects multiple sectors and raises complex policy, ethical, and development considerations. To ensure the Assessment is comprehensive, credible, and aligned with international best practices, MPAAI has partnered with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and UNESCO. These partnerships allow the country to apply globally recognised, complementary methodologies that reflect both development and ethical dimensions of AI, while remaining responsive to national priorities and local context.
UNDP - Artificial Intelligence Landscape Assessment (AILA)
The UNDP Artificial Intelligence Landscape Assessment (AILA) examines the national AI ecosystem from a development perspective. It assesses key enablers such as digital infrastructure, skills and talent, data availability, innovation, policy and regulation, and societal impact. AILA supports evidence-based decision-making by identifying strengths, gaps, and opportunities to advance inclusive and sustainable AI development.
UNESCO - Readiness Assessment Methodology (RAM)
UNESCO’s Readiness Assessment Methodology (RAM) focuses on a country’s preparedness to implement ethical and responsible AI systems. Aligned with the UNESCO Recommendation on the Ethics of Artificial Intelligence, RAM evaluates governance and legal frameworks, institutional and technical capacity, and social and cultural considerations. The methodology is implemented through broad multi-stakeholder consultations to ensure AI development upholds human rights, transparency, fairness, and sustainable development.
