National AI Strategy Sprint

Course lesson · Lesson 2

The Architecture — Learning the 9-Pillar Map

Learn the nine load-bearing pillars of every serious AI strategy — and read real strategies comparatively, so you can tell a deliberate omission from a genuine gap.

What you'll take away
  • Name the nine pillars and the core question each one answers.
  • Read a national strategy comparatively, marking each pillar explicit / implicit / absent and high / medium / low.
  • Distinguish a context-driven choice from a competence gap when a strategy is silent on a pillar.
  • Produce a one-page pillar map of your own context that becomes the memo's backbone.
