説明を展開
MEIT (Ministry of Economic Affairs and Information Technology) is Estonia's lead ministry for AI policy. AI-related functions: (1) drafting and coordinating the Kratt AI Strategy; (2) interfacing with EU digital affairs (including EU AI Act implementation); (3) overseeing executing agencies like RIA and e-Estonia. Assessment: MEIT effectively combines an Economy Ministry with a Digital Ministry — more concentrated than Singapore's MTI + SNDGO. The concentration is efficient at small-state scale but means there is no institutional separation of policy from execution — which is exactly why Estonia can move from draft to in-force in 6 months.
