Core skills for data analysts include using prescribed analytical techniques and tools to collect, clean, manage, and analyze data; identifying insights to solve business problems; and visualizing data to successfully communicate results in a clear way to stakeholders. Data analysts have prerequisite knowledge in basic mathematics and statistics as well as business acumen. Along the way, you’ll deep dive into ways that AI makes predictions, understands language and images, and learn using circuits inspired by the human brain. After a hands-on simulation in which you build and test a machine learning model, you’ll finish with tips on how to find your own career in artificial intelligence.
