Part 1 Introducing Altair and generative AI to data storytelling

What is data storytelling? How can you implement data-driven stories using Python Altair? What benefits would generative AI introduce to building data stories? You’ll find the answers to each of these questions in part 1 of this book. This part introduces the use of generative AI in a progressive way: first, we will look at GitHub Copilot, and later, in chapter 4, ChatGPT and DALL-E. I chose to follow this learning strategy because it is better to first lay the theoretical foundations to understand the main concepts and then automate them, using the various tools generative AI makes available. Using this approach, you will be the full master of generative AI tools, rather than their servant.
