Pillar profile
Insight engine
Colombia ranks #43 of 48 on the Cognitive Coefficient (26.4/100), with a trajectory classified as Falling behind relative to the frontier. Its strongest pillars are education, digital literacy; the binding constraints are compute, ai adoption.
Risks
- Low cognitive resilience: heavy reliance on externally-controlled frontier infrastructure.
- Relative position is eroding — growth pace trails the frontier, widening the gap.
Opportunities
- Largest headroom in Compute (12.8/100) — targeted investment compounds fastest here.
- Largest headroom in AI Adoption (13.6/100) — targeted investment compounds fastest here.
Recommended actions
- Prioritise the weakest pillar (Compute) to lift the geometric-mean development index (CDI).
- Convert access into utilization: workforce AI-skilling and agentic-workflow adoption.
- Broaden the base (education + data governance) to raise resilience and reduce concentration risk.
