The Cisco AI Readiness Index is based on a double blind survey of 8,161 global private sector businesses and IT leaders involved in AI integration and/or deployments across 30 markets.
The research was carried out by an independent research company between September and October 2023.
Each company’s scores were determined by their level of deployment and clarity in the six different pillars. These scores for each area were combined, taking into account the importance of each area, to create an overall score for each company in their respective markets.
