Leveraging Generative AI in Data Analytics: Insights from Industry Experts
In this episode of HockeyStick, host Miko Pawlikowski interviews Artur Guja, Dr. Marlena Siviak, and Dr. Marian Siwiak, the authors of 'Generative AI for Data Analytics.' They discuss the impact of generative AI on data analytics, their collaborative background, and their book's focus on utilizing AI tools efficiently rather than seeking them out as silver bullets for complex problems. The conversation also delves into process optimization, the challenges and realities of academia, the potential and limits of prompt engineering, and the future of AI in data analytics. The importance of understanding the nuances of using generative AI as an assistant rather than a replacement for human creativity and insight in data analytics is highlighted throughout the discussion.
