Readiness Assessment Methodology (RAM)

UNESCO's standardized methodology for assessing national AI readiness across multiple dimensions, providing metrics, baseline indicators, and comparative benchmarks to guide policymaking and track progress. RAM informed the Maldives assessment and underpins recommended priorities and monitoring approaches.

A comprehensive assessment tool developed to help countries evaluate their preparedness for ethical AI governance across legal, regulatory, technical, and institutional dimensions, identifying gaps and priority areas for capacity building and implementation.
