Closed and exposedMedia coverage: medium (87 AI articles citing the country in the last 32 days)
Why this value
Exposure to threats = 50% × 60.1 (as a target) + 50% × 49.9 (as a cause) = 55
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.
/What we cannot see
Incidents never reported by the press · reports of serious incidents sent to the authorities and not published · systems registered in the non-public part of the EU database.
