Assessing AI Dependency: A Multifactorial Analysis and AIDI Index

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative force reshaping economies worldwide. This paper presents a comprehensive framework for assessing AI dependency, aiming to quantify the extent to which countries rely on AI technologies and capabilities. We propose a multifactorial analysis that integrates various indicators, including the contribution of AI-related industries to GDP, the rate of AI technology adoption, the availability of skilled AI professionals, government initiatives supporting AI development, and the readiness of infrastructure for AI deployment. Each indicator is weighted based on its relative importance, determined through expert judgment and statistical analysis. Through case studies and empirical analysis, we demonstrate the application of the proposed framework in evaluating AI dependency across different countries. Our findings highlight the diverse landscapes of AI readiness and dependency, providing insights for policymakers, researchers, and stakeholders to understand and address the challenges and opportunities associated with the AI-driven economy.
