how it is computedNot part of the attention index
Openness to AI
Insufficient data: no Oxford Insights data
Exposure to threats
24
as a target 40 · as a cause 8
Media coverage: low (10 AI articles citing the country in the last 32 days)
Why this value
Exposure to threats = 50% × 40 (as a target) + 50% × 7.7 (as a cause) = 23.9
Reported cyber attacks against institutions and foreign disinformation
Social media monitoring, government disinformation, AI surveillance, spyware, internet shutdowns
What protects
Government access to personal data (V-Dem, expert scale)96
Rule of law (0-100 score)60

Shown alongside, not subtracted from the exposure
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.
