Per-item analysis
Belgium
Belgium is the world's #23 economy by GDP ($726bn) and ranks #28/50 on absolute Cognitive Power and #20/50 on per-capita intensity. Its standout strength is AI Readiness (60.4, Strong); its trajectory is Maintaining — holding position but not compounding an advantage. It carries no single binding weakness across the headline indices.
Strengths
- AI Readiness (60.4, Strong) — institutions and infrastructure are ready to convert capability into real deployment.
- Cognitive Resilience Index (52.9, Strong) — strategic autonomy: a broad home-grown base that is hard to cut off or coerce.
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.
- Readiness–utilization gap — AIR 60.4 but AIX 45.8: the institutions are ready but AI is under-used, so the capacity is not yet converting to value.
