Pillar profile
Insight engine
Taiwan ranks #13 of 48 on the Cognitive Coefficient (63.1/100), with a trajectory classified as Maintaining relative to the frontier. Its strongest pillars are education, data; the binding constraints are ai adoption, knowledge infrastructure.
Risks
- Readiness outpaces utilization: infrastructure exists but augmentation is under-adopted.
Opportunities
- Largest headroom in AI Adoption (37.1/100) — targeted investment compounds fastest here.
- Largest headroom in Knowledge Infrastructure (45.2/100) — targeted investment compounds fastest here.
Recommended actions
- Prioritise the weakest pillar (AI Adoption) 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.
