The AI Governance InternationaL Evaluation Index 2025 (AGILE Index 2025) is jointly authored and released by the Center for Long-term Artificial Intelligence, the Center for AI Ethics and Governance at the Institute of Automation of Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Beijing Institute of AI Safety and Governance (Beijing-AISI), and the Beijing Key Laboratory for Safe AI and Superalignment.
Building on pilot insights, AGILE Index 2025 incorporates systematic refinements to better balance scientific rigor with practical adaptability. The updated methodology expands data diversity while enhancing metric validity and cross-national comparability. Reflecting both research advancements and practical policy evolution, AGILE Index 2025 evaluates 40 countries across income levels, regions, and technological development stages, with 4 Pillars, 17 Dimensions and 43 Indicators, based on the design principle that "the level of governance should match the level of development." In compiling the data, the team integrates multi-source evidence including policy documents, governance practices, research outputs, and risk incidents to construct a unified comparison framework. This approach maps global disparities while enabling countries to identify governance strengths, gaps, and systemic constraints. The AGILE Index Report 2025 details the 22 key findings from this global assessment of AI governance.
