When my team and I developed the AI Readiness Index (AIRI) in 2019, it helped organizations understand their AI maturity and what steps they needed to take to become AI-ready. Fast forward to today, and I am excited to introduce the Personal AI Readiness Index (pAIRI) – a framework for individuals to assess their own readiness for the age of AI.

Why pAIRI?

Just as companies need to understand where they stand in their AI journey, individuals need to gauge their personal readiness for an AI-driven world. pAIRI is not just another assessment – it is a tool for empowerment that helps you identify your strengths and areas for improvement in the AI landscape.

By assessing your Personal AI Readiness, you can strategically position yourself for future opportunities.

The pAIRI Framework

The pAIRI framework builds on our experience with AIRI and assesses individuals across five key pillars:

1. Individual Strategy and Culture: Understanding how AI impacts your life, career, and industry, and developing a vision for leveraging AI.
2. Personal Data and Technology: Possessing the foundational digital skills needed to navigate today’s technological landscape.
3. Skills and Talent: Applying critical thinking to evaluate information and develop creative solutions in AI-driven systems.
4. Personal Learning and Development: Demonstrating curiosity about new technologies and adapting your learning strategies to keep pace with rapid AI advancements.
5. Personal Governance and Ethics: Understanding and practicing responsible data handling, including awareness of personal data privacy and security.

We will categorize you into one of four levels based on the assessment.

• AI Unaware: Limited understanding of AI concepts with basic digital literacy only.
• AI Aware: Basic AI knowledge and uses common digital tools.
• AI Ready: Engages with AI tools and seeks AI learning opportunities.
• AI Competent: Advanced AI understanding, creates AI solutions, and advocates for responsible development and use of AI.

How pAIRI Works

Similar to our original AIRI framework for organizations, the Personal AI Readiness Index (pAIRI) offers a streamlined self-assessment experience that takes just 10-15 minutes to complete. This straightforward questionnaire helps you understand your personal AI readiness across five essential dimensions.

What makes this experience even more powerful is our integration with LLX – our AI Transformation Mentor. You can now complete your pAIRI assessment through a natural dialogue with LLX, making the process more intuitive, personalized, and insightful than ever before.

Once you’ve completed the assessment, you’ll receive a comprehensive personalized report highlighting your unique strengths and identifying specific growth opportunities. More importantly, you’ll get actionable, tailored recommendations for learning resources, career development pathways, and AI Singapore programs specifically relevant to your AI readiness level.

The LLX-powered pAIRI experience doesn’t just assess – it guides your AI journey with context-aware recommendations that adapt to your background, goals, and current capabilities. Whether you’re just beginning to explore AI or looking to deepen specialized expertise, pAIRI with LLX provides the insights you need to navigate your personal AI transformation journey with confidence.

Evaluating your Personal AI Readiness is the first step towards becoming proficient in AI technologies.

Beyond Assessment: Building an AI-Ready Community

What makes pAIRI powerful isn’t just the assessment itself – it’s the pathway to growth it provides. By understanding your current AI readiness, you can take targeted steps to enhance your skills and knowledge.

pAIRI aligns with our mission at AI Singapore to democratize AI knowledge. Whether you’re just starting your AI journey or you’re an experienced practitioner, pAIRI helps you navigate the evolving landscape of AI to achieve your personal and professional goals.

Growing Your Own Timber

At AI Singapore, we believe in “growing our own timber” – developing local AI talent rather than relying solely on importing expertise. pAIRI is another tool in this mission, helping individuals assess where they stand and what steps they need to take to become AI-ready.

Just as our AIAP program has transformed professionals from diverse backgrounds into AI engineers, pAIRI can help you identify your personalized pathway to AI literacy and competence.
