In this week of Visual Analytics, we are asked to create a simple animation using R and describe it. So, I decided to use a dataset that shows the steady progression of Artificial Intelligence test scores on a variety of subjects slowly meeting the benchmark of human performance. The benchmark is represented by that horizontal gray line.
The dataset can be found here: AI Test Scores
To begin, let's look at just the static visual:
Now, the animation:
What I find interesting about this visual is that it perfectly encapsulates how AI was slowly progressing in the early 2000s (Handwriting recognition, Speech recognition, Image recognition) but is wasn't until the mid-2010s to early 2020's that AI began meeting and surpassing the human performance benchmark. There are still some new AI technologies that have yet to meet the human performance benchmark like math problem solving, code generation, and general knowledge tests but it is only a matter of time before AI surpasses the benchmark.
