Digital Intelligence Index
Digital Intelligence Index (DII) is an interactive research platform of scorecards built to provide evidence-driven, actionable insights on how to enhance digital competitiveness, nurture trust in the digital economy, and foster responsible use of data, AI, and other advanced technologies for enhanced productivity and the greater good.
The scorecards and the insights of the DII are meant to inform decision making by technologists, innovators, investors, policymakers, and business leaders on our collective journey from a digital present towards a data-enriched, inclusive, artificial intelligence-augmented future.
The current index encompasses the third edition of the Digital Evolution scorecard, following up on our earlier editions (in 2017 and 2014) and the second edition of our Digital Trust scorecard. It paints a picture of global digital development, sheds insight on key factors driving change and momentum, and unpacks the impact digital trust and digital evolution have on a country’s digital competitiveness.
This edition of the DII offers data, insights, and international comparisons to guide decision-makers to chart a path out of the pandemic-induced economic challenges of 2020 and toward a data-enabled, artificial intelligence-augmented, and inclusive digital future.
- In the time of a pandemic, digital evolution is an essential contributor to economic resilience.
- “More data privacy protections and less data protectionism” is the mantra.
- Mobile internet access is necessary but not sufficient for the economies in the "Digital South".
- Empower consumers with the necessary “digital hygiene” and literacy skills to combat misinformation.
- Navigate the tradeoffs between maintaining high levels of digital momentum and investing in strong institutions.
- Organize entrepôts as linchpins for global and regional digital advancement.
The Digital Intelligence Index provides insights across two scorecards: Digital Evolution and Digital Trust.
