Analysis of Artificial Intelligence Readiness Performances of G7 Countries: An Application with LOPCOW-based MARCOS Method

The artificial intelligence (AI) readiness performance of major economies can significantly impact the global economy. Therefore, analyzing the AI readiness performance of these economies is of great importance. In this study, the AI readiness performances of G7 countries were assessed using the most recent Government Artificial Intelligence Readiness Index (GAIRI) data for 2023. The analysis revealed that the importance of GAIRI components varies by country, with Data and Infrastructure generally being the most significant components. The countries were ranked according to their AI readiness performances using the LOPCOW-based MARCOS method as follows: USA, United Kingdom, Canada, France, Japan, Germany, and Italy. Notably, Italy's AI readiness performance was below the average, indicating the need for improvement to enhance its contribution to the global economy. The method applied proved to be sensitive in sensitivity analysis, credible and reliable in comparative analysis, and robust and stable in simulation analysis.
