Preliminary Analysis Towards a Standardized Readiness Framework

Fig 1 - ITU AI for Good Infinity Framework for AI Readiness

Specifically, the following future steps are proposed to develop the AI readiness factors into
the ITU AI for Good Infinity framework for AI readiness.

Step-1: An open repository of data would be set up to address the corresponding AI readiness
factor for the availability of open data. In combination with existing ITU initiatives such as AI/
ML Challenges, this repository would be mapped to pre-standard research from ITU partners.

Step-2: Creation of an experimentation Sandbox with pre-populated standard compliant
toolsets and simulators, curated by ITU experts would help in studying the impact of the
readiness factors, and measuring their impact in specific case studies, use cases, and scenarios.

Step-3: Derivation of open metrics and open-source reference toolsets for measurement and
validation of AI readiness in specific domain-wise case studies would further contribute to the
ecosystem of AI readiness.

These steps would not only help us to evaluate the AI readiness along the dimensions of
(1) domains (2) regions (3) AI technologies, but also create a live ecosystem where this
measurement and evaluation could be validated in the real world.
