Leverage AI in Data Analytics: From Automation to Storytelling
I completed the LinkedIn Learning course “Leverage AI in Data Analytics: From Automation to Storytelling” by Alex Freberg, which provided me with a practical overview of how AI can enhance the workflow of a data analyst. The course highlight specific ways AI can add value, such as automating repetitive tasks, quickly generating insights, help test ideas using both real and synthetic data, and provide a variety of perspectives when brainstorming or interpreting results. Alex Freberg uses many real world examples of how AI has assisted professionals, from companies implementing AI to help non-technical employees answer their own data questions to showing us how he generated a data dictionary he uses in his own work. At the same time, the course also covers the limitations of AI and stresses the importance of human judgment in reviewing output and effectively prompting to guide AI. Overall, it strengthened my confidence in viewing AI as a practical partner in analytics work and helped me see more clearly how these skills will apply in future professional settings.
