Global AI Vibrancy Tool

Roger on 19/08/2020

The Global AI Vibrancy Tool compares countries’ global activities, including both a cross-country perspective as well as an intra-country drill down. It is tempting to provide a single ranking of countries, but such rankings are notoriously tricky. Projecting complex, heterogeneous measures down to a single number (or even a small set of numbers) is fraught with methodological subtleties, and can be highly subjective or skewed. For now, we thought it more responsible and useful to provide a tool for the reader to set the parameters and obtain the perspective they find most relevant.
