Description

The framework trains a variational autoencoder on standardized country-level indicators of autonomy, digital skills and teacher support, projecting them into a two-dimensional latent space interpreted as "a structural readiness space for digital and AI-related transformations in education". Geometric proximity reflects similarity in joint learning environment configurations, and a composite AI Readiness Index is formed as a linear aggregation of the two latent coordinates (α = 0.5). Countries with higher latent readiness tend to show stronger ICT aspiration growth, though the gradient is imperfect.

  • Latent structural readiness space for digital and AI transformation derived from a variational autoencoder over learning environment indicators: The framework trains a variational autoencoder on standardized country-level indicators of autonomy, digital skills and teacher support, projecting them into a two-dimensional latent space interpreted as "a structural readiness space for digital and AI-related transformations in education".
