I just released a new AI research tool to explore countries’ AI strengths, weaknesses, and comparative advantages. Welcome any feedback!

As countries seek to build AI capacity and position themselves for a global economy with AI at its centre, it's increasingly valuable for policymakers to understand national AI levers of power, comparative advantages, and dependencies.
I've built AI Power Atlas, an interactive map to help enable this sort of analysis.
It shows how countries are positioned across six separate levers of AI power - compute, model capability, talent, data and digital infrastructure, industrial adoption, and governance / strategic autonomy - and lets the user compare any two side by side. Rather than collapsing everything into a single ranking, it keeps the levers separate, so you can see where a particular country is stronger or weaker on AI levers of power.
It also maps dependencies: who relies on whom for things like advanced chips, semiconductor equipment, energy, and frontier models.
A few notes on the approach:
It's an early prototype with a hand-curated dataset, so I'd welcome feedback from anyone working in AI governance, semiconductors, or industrial policy as I continue to build it out.’
