Assessment of the Achievements of States in the Field of Artificial Intelligence in the Context of International Ratings

The article analyzes the development of artificial intelligence (AI) in Russia, the countries of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), and the world. International cooperation and leading countries ratings are emphasized, as well as AI’s role as a key driver for economic growth and innovation. International platforms and strategies such as those promoted by BRICS, SCO, CSTO, CIS and the Union of Russia and Belarus are also highlighted. A comprehensive approach to evaluating AI potential is described, including an analysis of government programs, investments, scientific publications and human resources. The focus is on international ratings such as the Global AI Index, the Stanford AI Index Report for 2024, and PwC’s Global Artificial Intelligence Study. These ratings evaluate countries based on various factors including infrastructure, research, commercial strategies, and regulatory frameworks. According to the results of the analysis, the United States and China continue to lead significantly, outpacing other countries. Russia, on the other hand, demonstrates strong positions in terms of development, government funding and legal support, but falls behind in human resources and infrastructure. This analysis allows us to identify trends and challenges in AI development as well as to highlight the need for improved digital infrastructure and increased international cooperation in order to achieve sustainable socio-economic growth.
