According to the government artificial intelligence (AI) readiness index rankings, the United States (U.S.) is the highest-ranked country on the worldwide index in 2023, with an index score of 84.8. This means that the U.S. is considered the country best situated in the world to implement AI within public services, from healthcare to education to transportation. Other noteworthy countries with high indexes were Singapore, the United Kingdom, and Finland coming in at second, third, and fourth respectively.
China ranks 16th on the index as it only measures AI readiness instead of AI implementation. Compared to many other countries that may score more highly for AI readiness, China is advanced in implementing AI capabilities to public services as it has made this a top government priority.

According to the source, the fundamental pillars of government AI readiness are the following:
1. The Government needs to be willing to adopt AI, and able to adapt and innovate to do so;
2. The Government needs a good supply of AI tools from the technology sector; and
3. These tools need to be built and trained on high quality and representative data, and need the appropriate infrastructure to be delivered to and used by citizens.
