The index will draw on a range of primary data to measure the capacity for artificial intelligence – specifically through the processes of innovation, investment and implementation – amongst OECD nations. The initial findings showed the wide margin in capacity between the US, China and the rest of the world. The index has been referenced extensively by governments as a benchmark for their national AI strategies. The Global AI Index has been featured in a number of publications, including WIRED, Politico, Irish Times, The South China Morning Post and Medium.

Evident Alexandra Mousavizadeh is currently the founder and CEO of Evident which is launching the Evident AI Index in January 2023. The Evident AI Index is the first public ranking of the largest companies in the world on their maturity in developing and using artificial intelligence. The Evident AI Index uses public data sources rather than survey data or interviews. It contains 190 indicators across 4 pillars focusing on ambition, talent, innovation and responsibility. It will rank more than 1,000 companies across a range of sectors and geographies (including North America, Europe and Middle East and Africa). It aims to create a global benchmark for measuring maturity in artificial intelligence. Commentary Mousavizadeh has been appointed as a specialist judge for the World Data Visualization Prize, in partnership with the World Government Summit. Mousavizadeh's analysis has featured in a number of publications, including The Wall Street Journal, the Financial Times, The Moscow Times, Euromoney, and eNCA.
