National AI Masterplan 2025-2035 strategic framework

Ministry of Homeland Security and Technology — Maldives cabinet has adopted an AI governance framework Maldives officials call the National AI Masterplan 2025-2035, tasking the National Centre for Information Technology with steering a decade of artificial intelligence policy. The plan, under the Ministry of Homeland Security and Technology, pushes for a standalone oversight body, a multistakeholder advisory council, public AI education drives, and digitised Dhivehi-language datasets. Muizzu's government frames this as capturing AI's economic upside while containing its risks, part of a broader national AI strategy.

    Method and sources

    Every entry on this page is a named organisation putting AI to work in a real job, taken from the State of Applied AI record. Each one is traced to the report it came from and dated, and where a figure is the organisation’s own the entry says so rather than presenting it as an independent result. Readiness, ecosystem and policy figures, where shown, are attributed on the card to the body that published them.

    The record is maintained continuously by the Industrial Research Unit of the Straits Institute for Applied AI: entries are added as they are found and verified, not on a schedule, and nothing is published without an open source behind it. It currently holds 4731 entries across 249 countries.
