Wealth predicts AI adoption, well, at least ~90% of it. I plotted the Claude Usage Index against GDP per capita for 120+ countries, and the relationship is significantly tight. On a log-log scale, GDP alone explains roughly 90% of the variation in AI usage across countries.

By contrast, several English-speaking countries, including Australia, Canada, and New Zealand, sit well above the trendline, with AI usage that exceeds what GDP alone would suggest. GDP explains a lot, but clearly not everything.

Language, education, digital infrastructure, culture, and access to frontier AI models, some of which also correlate with income, may all help explain why some countries overperform while others underperform relative to their level of wealth.

A very useful source on #AI / #GenAI #Goverance, #Readiness, and #Operations: The UK government has released guidance on the use of GenAI by departments and agencies. Link: gov.uk/government/publicatio…

#AI is poised to make a significant impact on the #economy, even if it doesn't affect every job in every sector. the value of all human capital can be 9 to 12 times > the annual GDP. So, if AI impacts only 10% of the human capital, it could be worth more than an entire year's GDP

Australians, like many around the world, seem to be becoming more civically and politically detached. We don’t join or participate in local sports clubs, religious organisations or political parties at anything like the rate we used to. theguardian.com/australia-ne…

Australians aren’t joining in any more – and it appears to be having big political consequences

Participation in social, community and civic groups fell by between eight and 10 percentage points from 2006 to 2019

With more data in, Age and Education of residents still explain ~70% of the variations in the Yes Vote % across the electorates. Here is a cleaner table, including the univariate models, and also one with almost everything (removed income, it was causing multicollinearity).
