Why Societal Readiness Matters

As AI capabilities advance at an exponential rate, societies worldwide face unprecedented challenges in adaptation and governance. The gap between technological development and societal readiness threatens to create instability, inequality, and potential risks.

The SRI provides a quantifiable framework for measuring and enhancing society's preparedness for AI integration across five key dimensions, enabling targeted interventions where they are most needed.

By addressing readiness proactively rather than reactively, we can help ensure that AI development proceeds in a manner that is beneficial, safe, and aligned with human values and flourishing.
