Identifying relevant indicators for monitoring a National Artificial Intelligence Strategy

Artificial intelligence (AI) has been one of the main drivers for the development of cutting-edge technologies that are impacting society at different levels [1-3]. To harness the benefits of AI, while mitigating the risks, governments are developing National Strategies, seeking geopolitical protagonism and leveraging economic, social and cultural progress [4]. Launched in 2017, the Pan-Canadian Artificial Intelligence Strategy [5] was the first national strategy with the goal of guiding the priorities of AI policy at the country level [6]. Finland also developed its national AI strategy in 2017, closely followed by Japan, France, Germany, and the United Kingdom in 2018.
