<p>How can a National Artificial Intelligence Strategy be effectively monitored? To address this question, we propose a methodology consisting of two key components. First, it involves identifying relevant indicators within National AI Strategies. Second, it assesses the alignment between these indicators and the strategic actions of a specific government’s AI strategy, allowing for a critical evaluation of its monitoring measures. In addition, identifying these indicators helps to assess the overall quality of the strategy structure. A lack of alignment between strategic actions and identified indicators can reveal gaps or blind spots in the strategy. This methodology is demonstrated using the Brazilian AI strategy as a case study.</p>
