Per-item analysis
Malaysia
Malaysia is the world's #35 economy by GDP ($472bn) and ranks #23/50 on absolute Cognitive Power and #31/50 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 cognitive resilience index.
Strengths
- No standout strength.
Risk factors
- Dependency / low resilience — CRI 35.6 (#35/50): dependency risk: heavy reliance on frontier infrastructure others control — a strategic vulnerability.
- 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 — an upper-middle-income economy (GDP/cap $41,498 PPP) whose AI utilization (AIX 32.2) lags its means.
- Binding weakness — Cognitive Resilience Index 35.6 (#35/50, Developing): dependency risk: heavy reliance on frontier infrastructure others control — a strategic vulnerability.
