Frequently asked questions

What are AI and data analytics?

AI and data analytics are closely connected fields that help businesses make sense of complex information. AI involves creating systems and algorithms that can perform tasks efficiently, such as recognizing patterns, making predictions, and learning from data.

Data analytics involves collecting, processing, and interpreting data to uncover meaningful insights and support decision-making. When combined, AI and data analytics can automate analysis, uncover trends quickly, and enable predictive modeling to inform business strategy.  

Why are AI and data analytics useful?

The insights and information gained from identifying patterns within data sets can lead to improved decision-making and business strategies. Here are some examples of how data analytics can be useful across various industries:

• Help businesses understand their target audience, identify trends, and tailor marketing campaigns
• Optimize resource allocation and automate tasks
• Assist in risk management by identifying unusual patterns and anomalies that may indicate fraudulent activity

What is the difference between data mining and data analytics?

Data analysis is a broader term, while data mining is a specific process that occurs as part of data analysis:

Data mining focuses on uncovering hidden patterns and correlations in large data sets.
Data analysis encompasses several processes, including examining data to gain insights, drawing conclusions, and supporting decision-making.

In our Undergraduate Certificate in AI and Data Analytics, you’ll learn the subtle differences between data mining and data analytics and how to use both to extract useful information from large datasets.

Is data analytics a good career?

Yes, for many people, especially those who enjoy finding patterns, solving puzzles, and working with technology, data analytics is a good career choice. Some roles focus solely on data mining, while others, like software application developers and data analysts, may use data mining as part of a larger set of responsibilities. 

Additionally, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects employment of software developers to grow 15% nationwide from 2024 to 2034, which is much faster than the average for all occupations, although actual local growth may vary.  

What does an AI solutions specialist do?

AI solutions specialists are involved with the design, development, and deployment of artificial intelligence solutions that solve business problems for an organization. Key responsibilities include staying updated on AI tools and capabilities, collaborating with cross-functional teams, ensuring ethical AI and cybersecurity practices, and guiding the adoption of established solutions to maximize organizational impact and value.
