Egypt ranked first in Africa in the 2025 Government AI Readiness Index issued by Oxford Insights, climbing 14 places globally to rank 51st worldwide among 195 countries, the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology said on Saturday.

Egypt scored 57.5 points in the 2025 index, up from 55.6 points in 2024, when it ranked 65th globally among 188 countries.

The country also advanced to third place regionally in the Arab world, compared with seventh place last year.

According to the ministry’s statement, Egypt topped the Policy Capacity pillar globally, achieving a perfect score of 100 points, tied with the United Kingdom, Serbia, and Australia.

The pillar assesses governments’ ability to design and implement effective artificial intelligence policies aligned with a clear national vision, as well as the availability of resources and participation in relevant international agreements.

Egypt also ranked first in the Arab world in the Resilience pillar, which measures a country’s capacity to manage the social, economic, and environmental challenges arising from the expansion of AI applications.

This includes preparedness to address potential risks to societal security associated with the increased use of artificial intelligence technologies.

Commenting on the results, Minister of Communications and Information Technology Amr Talaat said the progress reflects the success of Egypt’s efforts to harness artificial intelligence technologies in service of society.

The milestone also highlights Egypt’s commitment to strengthening partnerships with international institutions and global technology companies in this field.
