The Evident AI index

Covering more than 100 financial institutions, the Index provides an objective, data-driven view of how major financial institutions are adopting, scaling and embedding AI across their organizations.
Each organization is ranked across four areas of AI capability – Talent, Innovation, Leadership and Transparency – using a range of indicators drawn from millions of publicly available data points.

Methodology
The Evident AI Index is an independent, "outside-in" assessment based exclusively on publicly available information.
Data is gathered through extensive manual research and proprietary machine learning tools that extract key data points from company reporting, public disclosures, and third-party platforms.
Our methodology, developed in consultation with leading subject-matter experts, prioritizes metrics that are transparent, tangible, well-defined, quantitatively precise, and responsive to direct action or investment.
FOUR PILLARS OF AI CAPABILITY
At Evident, we believe that adopting AI at scale requires continuing investment into four distinct, but complementary, areas of AI capability.
Talent
The volume and relative density of employees working in AI and data, as well as visible initiatives to hire, retain and develop leading AI talent
Innovation
The long-term investment in AI innovation, covering AI-specific research and patents and AI-focused investments, acquisitions and partnerships
Leadership
The AI focus of firms’ leadership, expressed through its overarching AI narrative, public disclosures of AI use cases and reported ROI
Transparency
Extent to which banks are reinforcing Responsible AI principles via talent, research, partnership, and communications strategy
