Project Overview

The Global Index on Responsible AI is the first tool of its kind to measure how countries around the world are implementing responsible AI, grounded in human rights and development goals. With data collected from 138 countries, GIRAI offers a comprehensive assessment of national-level policies, capabilities, and safeguards that shape the development and use of AI.


We are now preparing for the second edition of the Index. Building on lessons from the inaugural cycle, the next phase will focus on deeper regional engagement, stronger collaboration with research institutions, and targeted outreach to policymakers.

What's New in the Second Edition

  • Expanded Scope: A refined methodology and additional thematic indicators reflecting pressing global challenges such as AI in education, healthcare, and labor.
  • Open Data & Collaboration: Emphasis on transparent, open-access data and new partnerships to support evidence-based policymaking.
