This year\u2019s index includes 70 variables and covers 132 countries and 155 cities, across all groups of income and levels of development. The GTCI is a composite index, relying on a robust, action-focused Input-Output model, for policymakers and business leaders to learn from and respond to.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221;][vc_column_text]\n<h2><strong>2020 theme<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The 2020 edition addresses the theme of Global Talent in the Age of Artificial Intelligence. The report aims to explore how the development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is not only changing the nature of work but also forcing a re-evaluation of workplace practices, corporate structures and innovation ecosystems. As machines and algorithms continue to affect a multiplicity of tasks and responsibilities and almost every job gets reinvented, the right talent is required not only to carry out new responsibilities and ways to work, but also to capture value from this transformative technology. This topic stands at the heart of the debate in this era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution as AI has become a game-changer in every industry and sector. Current education and skills acquisition will be transformed as well, implying that formal and informal learning structures will evolve to meet the needs created by this very same AI-driven world.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221;][vc_column_text]\n<h2><strong>Key findings<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>The gap between high income, talent rich nations and the rest of the world is widening <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Switzerland continues to top this year\u2019s rankings, followed by US and Singapore.
