# AI for Data Analytics Canonical URL: ## Overview Use AI-powered tools to strengthen your data analysis workflow, from cleaning and exploring data to prediction and clear stakeholder communication. In this hands-on workshop, you use real datasets and current AI tools to build practical deliverables you can apply to project reporting, operational analysis, and business decision-making. The course emphasizes verification and critical evaluation throughout so you can build reliable habits while working with AI. You learn how to analyze and visualize data, evaluate AI-generated outputs, and maintain traceable workflows that support professional accountability and better decision-making. ## What you'll learn - Use generative AI tools to clean, explore, analyze, visualize, and report on data. - Write effective prompts for analytics tasks using structured prompting techniques. - Validate AI outputs with a 7-step checklist and identify common analytical errors. - Build and assess predictive models through natural language, including regression, classification, and clustering. - Maintain a traceable AI-assisted workflow for accountability and reproducibility. - Apply AI to redesign workplace processes with verification and practical implementation steps. ## Curriculum #### Welcome and Orientation - Who is in the room, where everyone stands on AI, and your first question put to a real dataset inside the first hour #### What You Need to Know About AI - How AI actually works and the three consequences that make up the rest of the course - Why having no internal test for truth means AI can fail confidently - Why some data must never be entered into a system you do not control - Why verification is not optional #### What You Need to Know About Data - Structured and unstructured data and where data comes from - The four levels of analytics, from what happened to what we should do about it - The habit of asking who is missing from a dataset before trusting what it says #### Where AI Earns Its Place, and Where It Does Not - Five kinds of work worth handing over to AI - Three conditions under which you should not reach for AI at all #### How to Talk to It - What a strong prompt contains and which of six prompt patterns fits the moment - How to iterate without starting over - Why a long conversation eventually stops seeing the file you uploaded #### Data You Do Not Know - How to orient yourself before working with data you cannot check by eye - Profile a messy, unfamiliar dataset and distinguish errors from real anomalies - Clean data transparently, explore it, and audit what the cleaning process removed - Identify rows or information removed without your approval #### Communicating What You Found - Choose which chart answers which question and make AI justify the chart it selected - Apply five rules for reading a chart critically - Use three sentences to turn a finding into a decision - Complete a mini-analysis that runs the full workflow from beginning to end #### Unlocking What Was Out of Reach - Build a working prediction from a paragraph of plain English and interrogate the result - Read a forecast for its interval rather than only its line - Pull meaning from thousands of customer reviews without reading each one individually - Apply checks that determine whether predictions, forecasts, and text analysis can be believed #### The Errors That Survive a First Check - Identify fabricated figures and other errors that initially appear reasonable - Recognize trends that reverse when data is split and hidden third factors that affect results - Identify models that memorized rather than learned - Use deliberate checks to catch errors that pass a casual review - Hunt for problems within analyses that initially appear correct #### Putting It Together - Use seven prompts in one conversation to complete the full workflow - Examine what changes when nobody is reading the intermediate steps - Understand agents in practical terms, including how most people will encounter them by inheriting rather than building one - Solve and verify a real question from someone in the room #### Capstone and Close - Apply the workflow to one real task from your own job - Document the actual prompts used and the verification attached to each - Identify the first action you will take when you return to your desk ## Schedule - Oct 29, 2026 – Oct 30, 2026 — NYC - Feb 25, 2027 – Feb 26, 2027 — NYC - Apr 15, 2027 – Apr 16, 2027 — NYC - Jun 16, 2027 – Jun 17, 2027 — NYC - Sep 21, 2027 – Sep 22, 2027 — NYC ## FAQ ### Who is the target audience for this course?
