The 2023 Government AI Readiness Index is based on measuring
three basic pillars: government, technology sector, and infrastructure, relying
on 39 sub-indicators across 10 dimensions, including innovation capacity, size,
adaptability, digital capacity, governance, vision, data availability,
infrastructure, human capital, and data representation.
Jordan improved by more than 20 percent in the
Government AI Readiness Index, in line with the clear vision of the
Ministry of Digital Economy and Entrepreneurship to elevate Jordan to be one of the leading and
competitive countries in the field of artificial intelligence. This is through
the efforts made by the ministry to create a stimulating environment to attract
companies working in AI, as well as promoting investment in the field.
Thus, Jordan has achieved the first target of the Jordanian
AI Strategy and Implementation Plan for 2023-2027, which was approved by the
government through the Council of Ministers in October 2022.
It should be noted that the
Jordanian AI Strategy and
Implementation Plan for 2023-2027 aims to build a supportive system for AI by
building Jordanian capabilities, developing skills and experiences, encouraging
scientific research in the field of artificial intelligence, in addition to
enhancing the investment environment and entrepreneurship in the fields of
artificial intelligence, as well as applying artificial intelligence tools to
improve the efficiency of the
public sector and priority sectors.
Jordan’s ranking significantly improved compared to 2022,
where it ranked 63 out of 181 countries, and 80 out of 160 countries in 2021.
