How many capable, autonomous agents this society can field, how intelligent they are, and what they are permitted to do — across citizens, business and government. An automated army of agentic problem-solvers may be the single clearest near-term lever of cognitive advantage.

Czechia — cognitive standing in full
Czechia is the world's #40 economy by GDP ($391bn) and ranks #35/50 on absolute Cognitive Power and #27/50 on per-capita intensity. No index ranks as a clear strength across the headline indices; its trajectory is Falling behind — growing more slowly than the frontier. The binding concern is cognitive power index.

Index-by-index read
For each index: what it means when high (the value) versus low (the risk), and Czechia's own standing.
| Index | Value | Standing | What a high vs low value means — and where Czechia sits |
|---|---|---|---|
| CPI Cognitive Power Index | 27.3 | Developing · #35/50 | Low here — limited absolute weight: a price-taker that depends on capacity built elsewhere. ▲ high: great-power scale: the country can shape the frontier, attract capital and talent, and set standards others follow · ▼ low: limited absolute weight: a price-taker that depends on capacity built elsewhere |
| CC Cognitive Coefficient | 52.5 | Moderate · #27/50 | Mid-pack. High would mean deep capability per person: broad productivity gains and a well-equipped workforce; low would mean thin per-person depth: gains stay concentrated and most of the workforce is under-equipped. ▲ high: deep capability per person: broad productivity gains and a well-equipped workforce · ▼ low: thin per-person depth: gains stay concentrated and most of the workforce is under-equipped |
| ADI Agentic Deployment Index | 58.0 | Moderate · #27/50 | Mid-pack. High would mean an automated-agent workforce multiplier is already in place across society; low would mean agents are under-deployed — the clearest near-term productivity lever is being left on the table. ▲ high: an automated-agent workforce multiplier is already in place across society · ▼ low: agents are under-deployed — the clearest near-term productivity lever is being left on the table |
| CDI Cognitive Development Index | 0.526 | Moderate · #27/50 | Mid-pack. High would mean broad, balanced development with no single dimension dragging it down; low would mean imbalance or underdevelopment — at least one dimension is a binding weakness. ▲ high: broad, balanced development with no single dimension dragging it down · ▼ low: imbalance or underdevelopment — at least one dimension is a binding weakness |
| AIR AI Readiness | 45.7 | Moderate · #26/50 | Mid-pack. High would mean institutions and infrastructure are ready to convert capability into real deployment; low would mean governance, data or infrastructure gaps will slow how fast AI can actually be used. ▲ high: institutions and infrastructure are ready to convert capability into real deployment · ▼ low: governance, data or infrastructure gaps will slow how fast AI can actually be used |
| AIX Augmentation Index | 37.4 | Moderate · #28/50 | Mid-pack. High would mean AI is actively in use across the workforce, so capability is being turned into value; low would mean access without adoption — the tools exist but are under-used, so the value is unrealised. ▲ high: AI is actively in use across the workforce, so capability is being turned into value · ▼ low: access without adoption — the tools exist but are under-used, so the value is unrealised |
| CRI Cognitive Resilience Index | 42.3 | Moderate · #29/50 | Mid-pack. High would mean strategic autonomy: a broad home-grown base that is hard to cut off or coerce; low would mean dependency risk: heavy reliance on frontier infrastructure others control — a strategic vulnerability. ▲ high: strategic autonomy: a broad home-grown base that is hard to cut off or coerce · ▼ low: dependency risk: heavy reliance on frontier infrastructure others control — a strategic vulnerability |

Strengths to build on
- No standout strengths across the headline indices yet.
Risk factors
- Relative trajectory — Falling behind: Risk: the relative gap is widening — a compounding disadvantage that can pull capital and talent toward leaders and deepen dependency. The clearest call to act.
- Affluent but under-utilizing — a high-income economy (GDP/cap $60,487 PPP) whose AI utilization (AIX 37.4) lags its means.
- Binding weakness — Cognitive Power Index 27.3 (#35/50, Developing): limited absolute weight: a price-taker that depends on capacity built elsewhere.
Recommended priorities
- 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.
