Focus: Using AI to support exploratory and early-stage analysis.Description:
This session would introduce ways AI can assist with foundational analysis tasks, such as summarizing data, identifying patterns, suggesting appropriate baseline methods, and helping interpret descriptive outputs. The goal is not to replace statistical judgment, but to help participants move more efficiently through the first pass of analysis.Possible hands-on activities:
Generate descriptive summaries of a small datasetAsk AI to suggest appropriate baseline analyses for different data typesDraft code for summary statistics, simple visualizations, or basic modelsCompare multiple candidate approaches for an initial analysisInterpret example outputs and discuss what they do, and do not, mean
