Per-item analysis
Taiwan
Taiwan is the world's #22 economy by GDP ($790bn) and ranks #9/50 on absolute Cognitive Power and #12/50 on per-capita intensity. Its standout strength is Cognitive Velocity (3.7%, Strong); its trajectory is Maintaining — holding position but not compounding an advantage. It carries no single binding weakness across the headline indices.
Strengths
- Cognitive Velocity (3.7%, Strong) — improving quickly relative to a moving frontier.
- Cognitive Resilience Index (59.2, Strong) — strategic autonomy: a broad home-grown base that is hard to cut off or coerce.
- Cognitive Momentum (57.6, Strong) — investment and pipeline favour sustained improvement — today's position is likely to compound.
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 60.9 but AIX 45.2: the institutions are ready but AI is under-used, so the capacity is not yet converting to value.
