Artificial intelligence is the simulation of human intelligence processes by machines, especially computer systems. There are differing views on whether AI will be terrifyng or fun in our future. Effective data analysis requires identifying the right skills needed such as domain expertise, programming, statistics, and data skills. It is also important to consider issues like bias, privacy and explainability when working with AI.
