How the Index Scores Countries
The index measures whether learners in a country are building AI skills alongside the human skills needed to use them well, such as critical thinking, complex problem-solving and ethics. Sixty percent of the score comes from Coursera learning behavior: how proficient learners are, how widely they enroll, and how much their AI and human skills courses overlap. The other 40% comes from Oxford Insights' Government AI Readiness Index 2025, which looks at government capacity, policy and technology readiness.
