Everyone interacts with data, whether in their job or daily life, but fewer than 25% feel comfortable using it effectively. Data literacy is crucial for using AI successfully because it helps you understand and interpret the insights AI provides. It also allows you to think critically about the data, ask better questions, and get more relevant answers. Plus, being data literate helps you spot biases and ethical concerns, ensuring responsible use of AI. In this webinar, we’ll cover the key concepts of data literacy to maximize your effectiveness with AI tools.
