Closed, little exposedMedia coverage: medium (103 AI articles citing the country in the last 32 days)
Why this value
Exposure to threats = 50% × 50.3 (as a target) + 50% × 15.3 (as a cause) = 32.8
Reported cyber attacks against institutions and foreign disinformation
Social media monitoring, government disinformation, AI surveillance, spyware, internet shutdowns

What we cannot see
We count reported cyber attacks, not all those that happened; there is no worldwide measure of threats made with AI; for surveillance and spyware the sources stop at 2022-2024.
