Greece
Cognitive Power
Total national capacity — AI capital, compute, models & robotics. Strongest in researchers (total), research output (total), economic mass.
Cognitive Coefficient
How deep infrastructure runs per person — rewards intensity, like GDP-per-capita or the HDI.
Greece's agentic capacity
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.

Pillar profile
Greece — cognitive standing in full
Greece is the world's #46 economy by GDP ($281bn) and ranks #46/50 on absolute Cognitive Power and #33/50 on per-capita intensity. No index ranks as a clear strength across the headline indices; its trajectory is Maintaining — holding position but not compounding an advantage. The binding concern is agentic deployment index.
Economic & scale context
The economic base AI capacity is built on — and how its scale interacts with the cognitive indices.
Index-by-index read
For each index: what it means when high (the value) versus low (the risk), and Greece's own standing.
| Index | Value | Standing | What a high vs low value means — and where Greece sits |
|---|---|---|---|
| CPI Cognitive Power Index | 19.4 | Lagging · #46/50 | 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 | 42.4 | Developing · #33/50 | Low here — 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 | 35.4 | Lagging · #49/50 | Low here — 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 | 0.468 | Moderate · #30/50 | 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 | 31.0 | Developing · #38/50 | Low here — 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 | 27.3 | Developing · #41/50 | Low here — 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 | 42.7 | Moderate · #28/50 | 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 |
| CM Cognitive Momentum | 36.2 | Moderate · #31/50 | Mid-pack. High would mean investment and pipeline favour sustained improvement — today's position is likely to compound; low would mean a weak pipeline — the current position may stall or erode without new investment. ▲ high: investment and pipeline favour sustained improvement — today's position is likely to compound · ▼ low: a weak pipeline — the current position may stall or erode without new investment |
| CV Cognitive Velocity | 3.3% | Moderate · #26/50 | Mid-pack. High would mean improving quickly relative to a moving frontier; low would mean slow improvement — at risk of drifting backwards in relative terms as the frontier advances. ▲ high: improving quickly relative to a moving frontier · ▼ low: slow improvement — at risk of drifting backwards in relative terms as the frontier advances |
Trajectory & growth potential
Trajectory & growth potential
MaintainingGreece's trajectory is Maintaining — holding position but not compounding an advantage. Risk: the frontier keeps moving, so standing still means slow relative decline. A stable base, but it needs fresh momentum to avoid drifting back.
Strengths to build on
- No standout strengths across the headline indices yet.
Risk factors
- Relative trajectory — Maintaining: Risk: the frontier keeps moving, so standing still means slow relative decline. A stable base, but it needs fresh momentum to avoid drifting back.
- Affluent but under-utilizing — a high-income economy (GDP/cap $45,264 PPP) whose AI utilization (AIX 27.3) lags its means.
- Binding weakness — Agentic Deployment Index 35.4 (#49/50, Lagging): agents are under-deployed — the clearest near-term productivity lever is being left on the table.
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.
