Selentium Group AG today announced that following the release of the CivitasAI Readiness Index 2025, multiple governments across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) have formally requested closed-door briefings and in-depth consultations with the company’s experts.The CivitasAI Readiness Index, unveiled earlier this month, represents the world’s first AI-generated benchmark of 100 countries’ preparedness for artificial intelligence governance. Developed autonomously by Selentium’s platform CivitasAI, the Index analyzes factors such as infrastructure, education, investment, governance, and societal adoption to deliver a composite score for each nation.

Key Developments

  • MENA Governments Respond: Ministries and agencies from the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar have reached out to Selentium Group AG to organize private presentations and policy workshops based on the Index.
  • Global Attention: International institutions including the OECD and World Bank have also expressed interest in the methodology, citing the Index as a potential global standard.
  • First Policy Pilots: Several governments are considering pilot integrations of CivitasAI into national AI strategies, positioning the platform as a tool for long-term governance planning.

Executive Commentary

Marsel Murtazin, CEO of Selentium Group AG:
“The Index was designed as an analytical artifact, created by CivitasAI itself. The fact that governments are now requesting closed consultations proves its immediate relevance. This is more than a ranking — it is a mirror for states to measure their AI readiness and act upon it.”

David Levinson, CTO of Selentium Group AG:
“The CivitasAI Index has already moved from being a data product to becoming a strategic framework. We are now engaging directly with governments who see AI readiness as critical to their economic and political resilience.”
