AI Global Index (Top 5 Countries)
This animated scatterplot, inspired by a solar system model, visualizes the AI Global Index scores of the top five countries. Each colored circle represents a nation, positioned by its distance from a maximum score and sized according to its overall index value. The data is sourced from a Kaggle dataset. The implementation uses the d3 library, leveraging `select` for DOM selection, `.join` for data binding, and `transition` to animate the circles' radius and position over time.
AI-generated descriptionOverview:
This transition chart was modeled on Prof. Curran's solar system size and distance chart. It displays the top 5 countries ranked according to the AI Global Index (2023), the first index to benchmark nations on their level of investment, innovation and implementation of artificial intelligence.
