"AI is already transforming how children learn, create, and connect — and it's happening faster than most education systems can adapt," said Nic Mitham, creator of the BRAINS Index and founder of KZero Worldswide. "This Index gives leaders a way to see where their country stands, what's working, and what gaps need urgent attention."

The Index is based on proprietary research and analysis, combining policy frameworks, digital access, curriculum reform, ecosystem collaboration and real-world implementation.

Highlights from the 2025 BRAINS Index:

• Estonia scores 92.7/100, with standout marks for strategy, curriculum, and tool access
• Singapore and Finland follow closely, with deep integration of AI into teaching practice
• Top 10 includes: South Korea, China, Denmark, Netherlands, Japan, Sweden, and Norway
• The United States ranks #20, reflecting fragmented progress and regional disparities
• The Index includes 80 countries, covering every region from MENA to Oceania

AI is no longer a "future" issue for education. Students are already using generative AI to write essays, build apps, and explore new forms of expression. Teachers are testing AI for lesson planning, assessment, and feedback. National policies are emerging — but unevenly.

The BRAINS Index is designed as a practical tool for:

• Ministries of Education and AI task forces
• Edtech firms and platform providers
• NGOs, multilateral agencies, and funders
• Analysts and researchers in digital transformation

The full report is available to policymakers, education leaders and institutional partners upon request.
