Do I need any AI knowledge to use the platform?
None at all. The platform is built for professionals who use AI in their work — not people who build AI systems. Whether you’re in marketing, finance, HR, or operations, you’ll find everything approachable.
How do I create an account?
Click “Get Started” in the top navigation or the homepage. You’ll fill in a short registration form, then complete a brief profile wizard so we can personalise your experience. The whole process takes about two minutes.
What happens after I register?
You’ll be guided to take the pAIRI assessment — a 15-minute questionnaire that measures your personal AI readiness. Based on your results, you’ll receive a personalised learning path. You can then start the AI Ready For Everyone (AIRE) course.
Is aiready.sg really free, and how is it funded?
Yes — the pAIRI and oAIRI assessments, the personalised dashboard and recommendations, the company analysis, the AIRE course, and the community are all free. There are no hidden fees or premium tiers for individuals.
This is a personal initiative, funded and resourced solely by Laurence Liew to help raise the AI readiness of Singaporeans and our SMEs. Free covers individuals and teams of up to 25 people. Organisations needing more than 25 seats, enterprise features, or custom roles and industries pay a fee that helps cover operating costs.
I run a foundation, or have a CSR / giving budget — can we help fund this?
Absolutely. If you’d like to sponsor seats for a community, school, or non-profit, or support the platform through a CSR or giving budget, contact us. Sponsorship keeps aiready.sg free for the people who need it most.
What’s free, and what isn’t?
Free: both assessments, your dashboard and recommendations, the company analysis, the full AIRE course, the community, and team groups of up to 25 people. Paid: teams larger than 25 seats, enterprise rollouts, and custom roles or industries. For The Enterprise →
What is the AIRI Framework?
The AIRI Framework is an open standard for measuring AI readiness at both personal and organisational levels. It consists of two assessments — pAIRI for individuals and oAIRI for organisations — built on a shared architecture of 5 pillars, 15 dimensions, and 5 maturity levels.
What are the five pillars?
For pAIRI: Mindset, Ethics & Responsibility, Value Creation, Data Literacy, and Tools & Technical Skills. For oAIRI: Leadership & Culture, Ethics & Governance, Business Value, Data Foundation, and Infrastructure & Standards. Each pillar covers a critical dimension of AI readiness.
Why is Level 2 the target and not Level 4?
Because AI Ready (L2) is where you start using AI productively in your work. That’s the goal for most professionals and organisations. L3 and L4 are for people who build AI solutions or transform entire organisations — important roles, but not where most people need to be. Aiming for L2 is practical, achievable, and delivers real value.
Where can I learn more about the AIRI Framework?
Visit airi.foundation for the complete framework reference, including all 15 dimensions, maturity level descriptors, and scoring methodology. You can download the full guide as a PDF — no account required.
Who created the AIRI Framework?
Laurence Liew, Director of AI Innovation at AI Singapore. The framework is built on 9+ years of experience across 1,000+ organisations, 300+ deployed AI projects and 300,000+ professionals reached through AI Singapore’s national programmes Laurence created. The AIRI Framework is a personal initiative — not affiliated with AI Singapore. Why?
What is pAIRI?
pAIRI stands for Personal AI Readiness Index. It’s a 15-question assessment that measures your individual AI readiness across five pillars: Mindset, Ethics & Responsibility, Value Creation, Data Literacy, and Tools & Technical Skills.
How long does the pAIRI assessment take?
About 15-20 minutes. There are 15 questions, and we include brief teaching content between question groups — so you’re learning while you assess.
How is my pAIRI score calculated?
Each question maps to one of five maturity levels (L0–L4). Your pillar score is the average of the questions in that pillar. Your overall score is the average of all 15 individual question scores. Scores range from 0.00 to 5.00.
What do the maturity levels mean?
There are five levels. L0 (AI Unaware) — you haven’t started. L1 (AI Aware) — you’re aware of AI but not yet using it effectively. L2 (AI Ready) is the success target — you use AI productively in your work. L3 (AI Competent) — you create AI solutions and lead others. L4 (AI Catalyst) — you transform organisations with AI. Most professionals should aim for L2.
Do I need to retake the pAIRI assessment?
No. Your pAIRI scores update automatically as you complete lessons and quizzes on the platform. There’s no need for manual reassessment.
Can I see my results after the assessment?
Yes. You’ll be taken to a results page immediately after completing the assessment. It includes a radar chart showing your five pillar scores and a detailed breakdown with your maturity level for each pillar.
I don’t agree with my score. What can I do?
The assessment uses behavioural anchors — it asks what you actually do, not how you feel about AI. If a score seems off, revisit the question and check whether the anchor you selected matches your current practice. Your scores will naturally improve as you work through the recommended courses.
What is oAIRI?
oAIRI stands for Organisational AI Readiness Index. It measures your organisation’s AI readiness across five pillars: Leadership & Culture, Ethics & Governance, Business Value, Data Foundation, and Infrastructure & Standards.
Who should take the oAIRI?
Leaders, directors, department heads, or anyone with a view across the organisation. The assessment asks about your organisation’s capabilities, not your personal skills — so it’s best answered by people who understand the organisation’s current state.
Does my organisation need to take both pAIRI and oAIRI?
They’re independent — you can take either one. But using them together is powerful. pAIRI tells you where individuals stand; oAIRI tells you where the organisation stands. Comparing the two reveals alignment gaps, training needs, and change readiness.
How often should we reassess with oAIRI?
Every six months is recommended. Unlike pAIRI (which updates automatically via coursework), organisational changes happen outside the platform — new leadership, restructuring, policy changes — so manual reassessment is needed.
What is the AIRI Decision Engine?
The AIRI Decision Engine is a structured workshop tool that helps leadership teams evaluate whether specific AI projects are set up to succeed. It uses the same five pillars as oAIRI to score individual projects, then applies a formula that accounts for data readiness, infrastructure, business value, leadership commitment, and an ethics gate. Contact us if you’re interested in running one.
What is the company analysis?
When you take oAIRI, you can add your company’s website. We analyse your company’s public web presence and surface AI opportunities and recommendations specific to your organisation and industry. It’s free.
Is my company’s data safe?
The analysis only uses publicly available information about your company from the web — it never reads your internal systems or private data. And it’s evidence-grounded: where there isn’t enough public information, we say so rather than guess.
Do I have to add my company website?
Yes it is mandatory. oAIRI is for organisations and adding your website allows aiready.sg AI to crawl your website and find out public information about your organisation and industry. This is to generate the oAIRI report which includes an insight into your organisation based on your oAIRI scores and provide you with a list of prioritised AI use cases.
What courses are available?
Right now, there is one course: AI Ready for Everyone (AIRE) — a comprehensive AI literacy programme covering the AIRI Framework 5-pillars, no prerequisites. AIRE is available the moment you register your free account. Your pAIRI assessment scores determine which levels of AIRE content you see, so lessons match your actual readiness level. Role-specific learning tracks (AIRE-for-X) are coming in Phase 2, adding deeper, function-specific content for roles like operations, marketing, finance, and more.
How does the personalised learning path work?
After your pAIRI assessment, AIRE starts you at the right level for each pillar. Score L2 on Mindset but L0 on Data Literacy? You start at different points across pillars. Lessons below your assessed level are auto-completed so you don’t repeat what you already know. Your industry and role shape the examples, case studies, and scenarios throughout.
Who created the course content?
The curriculum is designed by Laurence Liew, based on the original AI For Everyone (developed by Laurence himself in 2017 and continuously updated since) and enhanced with the new version 3.1 of the AIRI Framework. The course structure, learning objectives, and core methodology are enhanced with research-backed pedagogy to deliver targeted learning. AI is then used to adapt this foundation into role-specific and industry-specific versions — generating tailored examples and contextual scenarios so the content is relevant to how you actually work in your role and in your industry.
Can I take AIRE without doing the pAIRI assessment first?
No. pAIRI is part of the sign-up process, and when pAIRI is completed, only then will AIRE be unlocked.
Do I need pAIRI before taking oAIRI?
No. pAIRI and oAIRI are independent assessments for different audiences. pAIRI measures your individual readiness; oAIRI measures your organisation’s. When used together they reveal powerful alignment gaps.
How long does AIRE take, and is it self-paced?
AIRE is designed as a 21-day sprint at about 30 minutes a day — but it’s completely self-paced, with no deadlines or cohorts. If pAIRI places you at a higher level, some foundational lessons are auto-completed, so you’ll move faster. You’ll receive a completion certificate when you finish.
What is the AI Ready Submission, and how is it graded?
Your AI Ready Submission assembles the evidence you built through the course’s hands-on Try-Its. An AI evaluator scores it against seven criteria tied to your role and industry — how you chose and used the tool, framed the problem, handled your data, evaluated outputs, used AI responsibly, the value you created, and what you learned. A weighted score of 70% passes. You’ll see your overall score, sub-scores per criterion, and feedback. If you score below 70%, you can retake — the prompt stays the same so you can focus on improving.
What if I disagree with my AI Ready Submission score?
As this site is free and sponsored personally, there’s no team to handle individual appeals. You can raise it in the AI Ready Community — senior members may be able to review and assist, and if it’s genuinely an issue with the evaluator, I will fix it. Thank you for your patience in helping make this free community site better.
Do other learners see my AI Ready Submission?
No. Your submission is seen only by you and the AI evaluator — we don’t do peer review. If you choose to share your work in the AI Ready Community for feedback, do so responsibly and make sure no confidential information is included.
Can I bring my team to aiready.sg?
Yes. Once you’ve completed both your pAIRI and oAIRI assessments, you can create a free team group for up to 25 people — at no cost.
How do my team members join?
You invite them from your group. Each member creates their own free account, completes pAIRI as part of sign-up, and starts AIRE personalised to their own role and industry.
Do team members each take their own assessments?
Yes — every member has their own pAIRI score and personalised learning path. The group gives you, as the leader, a shared place to see who’s enrolled and how the team is progressing.
What if I need more than 25 seats?
Groups are free up to 25 seats. For larger teams, enterprise rollouts, or custom roles and industries, get in touch — paid plans help cover operating costs. See For The Enterprise.
I forgot my password. How do I reset it?
Click “Log In” in the navigation, then use the “Forgot Password” link. You’ll receive a reset email within a few minutes. Check your spam folder if you don’t see it.
Can I change my profile details after registration?
Yes. Go to your dashboard and update your profile information at any time.
Is my data private?
Yes. Your assessment scores and course progress are visible only to you. We don’t share individual data with employers, partners, or third parties. We use privacy-first analytics with no third-party tracking cookies.
What browser should I use?
Any modern browser — Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge. We recommend keeping your browser updated for the best experience.
I’m having a technical issue. What should I do?
Check the AI Ready Community first — the most common issues would have been asked and documented. If you can’t find an answer, ask the community there, otherwise use the Contact Us form. Include a description of the issue, what you were trying to do, and any error messages you see.
What is the aiready.sg Community?
A discussion space where learners and practitioners share experiences, ask questions, and help each other on their AI readiness path. It’s built into the platform — no separate app or login needed.
Do I need to complete a course to join the community?
No. The community is open to all registered users. You can join and start participating as soon as you create your account.
What topics are discussed in the community?
There are spaces for general AI discussion, assessment questions, course-specific discussions, industry-specific conversations, AI tools and tips, and an off-topic lounge. If you can’t find the right space, post in General AI Discussion.
Can my organisation use aiready.sg for my team AI readiness?
Yes. Enrol your team (group), each team member gets a personalised AIRE path. As the group leader you can create a free team group (≤25 members). When more than 5+ team members have competed their pAIRI assessment, you can see an aggregated readiness view (never individual scores). Larger rollouts → contact us.
Can we run oAIRI across multiple departments?
Each leader runs oAIRI for their own org/department. There’s no automated cross-team/department comparison today — groups aren’t hierarchical today, so a multi-department view is manual. This is one of the most valuable applications of the framework for larger organisations even if done manually.
Is the AIRI Framework available for us to use independently?
