The AI Readiness Framework
Measure. Learn.
Transform.
The AI Readiness Framework provides a comprehensive, evidence-based system for measuring and developing AI readiness — at both individual and organisational levels. Built on 8+ years of real-world AI transformation experience, it uses behavioural anchors with measurable evidence, not self-assessed attitudes.
TWO ASSESSMENTS, ONE ARCHITECTURE
Personal and organisational readiness, measured together.
The Personal AI Readiness Index (pAIRI) and the Organisational AI Readiness Index (oAIRI) share a common architecture — enabling powerful analytics when used together. Individually, each assessment provides actionable insights. Together, they reveal critical alignment gaps between workforce readiness and organisational capability. We call this The AI Readiness Framework or just AIRI for short.
For Organisations
oAIRI
Organisational AI Readiness Index
Measures your organisation’s AI readiness across leadership, culture, governance, data readiness, and infrastructure. Used by governments, industry associations, and enterprises to benchmark capability and target interventions.
20 minutes · 15 questions · Free
For Individuals
pAIRI
Personal AI Readiness Index
Measures your individual AI readiness across mindset, ethics awareness, value creation, data literacy, and tools. The same proven framework, now applied to the individual. pAIRI scores feed directly into your organisation’s oAIRI scores.

FIVE MATURITY LEVELS
AI Ready is the goal.
Unlike traditional assessments that push everyone toward expert status, the AIRI Framework defines AI Ready — Level 2, Practitioner — as success for most professionals and organisations. You don’t need to become an AI expert — you need to use AI effectively.

Each level is defined by behavioural anchors — measurable evidence of what someone does, not what they say they know. See the full level descriptors →
WHY THIS FRAMEWORK
Built on experience.
Not theory.
Behavioural anchors, not self-assessment
Every response option describes observable, measurable behaviour — not opinions or self-ratings. This prevents grade inflation and the Dunning-Kruger effect.
Real-world backed
Developed from AI Singapore’s national programmes reaching 300,000+ professionals, 1000+ organisations and deploying more than 300 real-world AI-projects. Not theoretical — built from patterns observed in real AI adoption.
Learn during assessment
The assessment itself is a learning experience. Educational content between question groups means every participant leaves knowing more than when they started.
Agent-era Current
Version 3.1 integrates AI agent delegation proficiency, specification thinking, and trust calibration — reflecting how AI is actually used today.
