Question 1

What is CAPI-CR?

Accepted Answer

The Colibrii AI Preparedness Index (CAPI-CR) is a proprietary 6-dimension composite index extending the IMF AIPI methodology. It evaluates 20 peer countries across Digital Infrastructure, Human Capital, Innovation, AI Regulation, Sustainable Energy, and Digital Security using 11 real-time World Bank indicators plus 2 curated dimensions.

Question 2

How many data sources does Colibrii Labs use?

Accepted Answer

The observatory integrates 20+ international data sources including 4 live APIs (World Bank, GDELT, Exchange Rates, REST Countries), 29+ annual reports (WEF, Stanford HAI, Oxford Insights, IMF), and 13 API endpoints planned or available for future integration.

Question 3

What is Costa Rica's AI readiness status?

Accepted Answer

Costa Rica is classified as an 'AI Overperformer' by the World Bank, scoring 100/100 on AI Vision by Oxford Insights. However, it lacks binding AI legislation (score 0.38/1.0). The observatory tracks CR's positioning against 19 peer countries to identify strengths, gaps, and policy opportunities.

Question 4

What does the WEF Executive Opinion Survey (EOS) reveal about Costa Rica?

Accepted Answer

The WEF EOS surveys 11,000+ business leaders across 116 economies. Costa Rica's EOS (conducted via INCAE Business School) identifies crime, insufficient public services, societal polarization, unemployment, and debt as the top 5 risks — with zero AI/technology risks in the list. This perception gap is significant: global experts rank AI adverse outcomes as #5 long-term, and Vietnam's business leaders rank it #1.

Question 5

How does this observatory align with UN AI for Good?

Accepted Answer

Colibrii Labs integrates data from ITU, UNDP, UNESCO, ILO, FAO, and other UN agencies. The CAPI-CR index maps to the ITU AI Readiness Framework's 13 dimensions, and the observatory advances 8 Sustainable Development Goals including Quality Education, Decent Work, Industry & Innovation, and Partnerships for the Goals.
