ABCI Iraq 2035
Moving from digital connectivity toward integrated data, digital productivity and responsible AI adoption.
ABCI analytical perspective. Milestones and structural directions below are research propositions, not official forecasts or commitments.
Connectivity is an enabling condition, not the final outcome of digital transformation. Economic value comes from reliable services, interoperable data, more productive firms and responsible use of automation and artificial intelligence.
The 2022 ICT survey reported internet use by 79% of people aged five and above and internet access in 87% of households. Government platform figures describe services, accounts and data entries; they do not measure completed transactions, user satisfaction or economic productivity.
Access, adoption and economic impact must be measured separately. Approved national baselines for the digital economy’s contribution to GDP and enterprise AI adoption are still needed; account counts should not be used as substitutes.
Evaluate service completion, data quality, interoperability, cybersecurity, accessibility and workforce skills. AI use cases should have a defined purpose, accountable oversight and evidence of benefit before being scaled.
By 2030, test whether priority services are usable end to end and whether businesses can demonstrate time savings or productivity gains. Establish transparent measures of active use and service outcomes.
The direction is an integrated digital economy in which data and responsible AI improve institutional and business performance. Numeric adoption targets remain outside the framework until measurement is sufficiently reliable.
