Interactive Data Visualization
With Python data visual design, there is a rapidly growing list of awesome tools that create wicked graphs and charts in record time. For example, by combining Python’s Streamlit and Plotly libraries, you can easily design a simple prototype interface to explore shifts in global issues by country.
Rapid Prototyping
To make it even easier, with now near-ubiquitous use of LLMs such as GPT-4, data scientists can simply prompt to generate working Python code for building these dashboards directly. Never has it been easier to create rapid prototypes to express data in deep and granular ways.
Exploring Death Penalty Data
Bringing death penalty data to life shows us where the world stands on one of the most controversial practices in the legal system. What are some of the trends over the years? Using this recently compiled dataset, let’s prompt GPT-4 to create a multi-visual Streamlit app that tells us a story about global death penalty trends.
Building the Interactive Dashboard
To build our interactive dashboard, let’s work with two primary datasets: the death penalty dataset and the COW-to-ISO mapping dataset. Together, these datasets combine the death penalty data and country boundaries, allowing us to represent the trends in a more visual and engaging way.

Conclusion
In this article, we explored how to use Python, Streamlit, and GPT-4 to create an interactive dashboard to visualize global death penalty trends. By combining these technologies, data scientists can quickly and easily design prototypes to express complex data in a more engaging and interactive way.
