Conceptual framework and methodological approaches
2.1 Essence of AI-First Readiness
AI-First is presented as a design principle. Instead of automating existing routines after the fact, the ministry asks from the start how AI can reshape processes, improve decisions, and organise knowledge more effectively.

This principle appears explicitly in the concept as a condition for successful implementation.
Human-centred design and adoption
This principle appears explicitly in the concept as a condition for successful implementation.
Gradual, phased transformation
This principle appears explicitly in the concept as a condition for successful implementation.
Measurable progress through clear indicators
This principle appears explicitly in the concept as a condition for successful implementation.
Inclusive participation across staff categories
This principle appears explicitly in the concept as a condition for successful implementation.
Ethical use of AI and data
This principle appears explicitly in the concept as a condition for successful implementation.
Sustainable institutional embedding
This principle appears explicitly in the concept as a condition for successful implementation.
Partnership with external organisations and experts
This principle appears explicitly in the concept as a condition for successful implementation.
