The index was a global study conducted bythe US-based Oliver Wyman Forum, which ranked 105 international citiesin terms of their preparedness for the broad technological and digitaldisruption that will be spurred by AI and related technologies.
The cities were ranked based on four keycriteria, including the quality of a city’s plan (Vision); a city’s ability toexecute on forward-looking plans (Activation); the extent and quality oftalent, education, and infrastructure (Asset Base); and how the interplay ofActivation and Asset Base are impacting its overall momentum (Trajectory).
Timocine Pervane, an expert of Oliver WymanForum, said with high growth rate, and growing skilled workers, Vietnam has a brightprospect and is on the right track towards the AI age.
It is important for the country to takeadvantage of chances produced by the Fourth Industrial Revolution to bolsterits growth, he added.
The 10 leading cities are Singapore, London(the UK), New York and San Francisco (the US), Paris (France), Stockholm(Sweden), Amsterdam (the Netherlands), Boston (the US), Berlin (Germany) andSydney (Australia).
European cities have an advantage in termsof their ability to implement plans, while cities in the US and Asia are makingthe greatest strides in catching up with breakthroughs in the age of AI.
However, the index also showed that no cityin the world is ready for the disruptions that will be brought on by the age ofAI./.
