Open, little exposedMedia coverage: high (3,044 AI articles citing the country in the last 32 days)
Why this value
Exposure to threats = 50% × 40.6 (as a target) + 50% × 33 (as a cause) = 36.8
Reported cyber attacks against institutions and foreign disinformation

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.
