Oxford Insights uses 39 indicators based on three pillars – government, technology level, infrastructure and data.

In the fifth review, Vietnam ranked 55th in the world and 6th in ASEAN, a seventh-rank promotion compared with last year.

The average score in Vietnam’s AI readiness is 53.96, higher than the 51.82 scores in 2021. The indicator is higher than the world’s average level of 44.61 scores.
