Released maps

Maps of Artificial Intelligence and Autonomous Systems are published here once their data rights are cleared and they have been reviewed. Each shows its time and space reference, its sources and its uncertainty.

01In brief

The short answer.

Artificial Intelligence and Autonomous Systems released maps are reviewed map views of artificial intelligence, published once their data rights are cleared, each with its coordinate reference, date, sources and uncertainty. Layers draw on sources such as Stanford HELM (Holistic Evaluation of Language Models). A map shows released, rights-cleared evidence, not a live feed or an official warning.

Scoping to review.

Canvas · scoping to reviewDesign, not a record
Released maps: from layers to a published mapLayers are ingested with their licences, reprojected and harmonised, analysed (overlay, zonal statistics, indices), checked for uncertainty and published as a map with its passport. Design of the process, not a record of a run.

03Geography

Energy now in World.

For released maps, in GCRI's spatial-intelligence reading, the map opens on night lights, true-colour imagery and population density with true colour from NASA GIBS, framed on World; 3 further NASA layers wait in the list.

The interactive map needs JavaScript; the layer list and sources are below.

06Reading the maps

Cautions that apply to AI maps.

  • Compute location maps show known facilities; many are undisclosed.
  • Adoption maps based on surveys are not comparable across countries.
  • Energy intensity of AI varies by workload and hardware.
