AI OBSERVATORY / INDEX

Watching AI around the world.

The AI Observatory is an independent research institute that watches, measures and investigates AI’s benefits, failures and consequences. Our Monitor, AIO Watch, covers 43 countries, the 38 OECD Member countries and the OECD’s five Key Partners: Brazil, China (People’s Republic of), India, Indonesia and South Africa. We observe published facts only: official instruments, registered policy actions, listed compute systems and published adoption statistics. No value is estimated, imputed or modelled.
