Andy Cotgreave will explore the tension between the rapid advancements in AI data analysis tools and the persistent need for human craft and context in deriving insights.

He’ll argue that while AI can automate basic analytical tasks, there are significant barriers such as the nuances of chart selection, and the semantic gap.

Andy will describe how these problems appear and provide a framework you can use for assessing new tools’ ability to do data analysis. He’ll look at how to bridge the gap between business language and raw data, proving that data storytelling remains indispensable.

Bullet points:
– The Importance of the human craft in the age of AI
– A practical framework to assess the value of AI-driven analytics tools
