This presentation provides an introduction to the use of artificial intelligence in data analytics, outlining the progression from descriptive and diagnostic analytics, which summarize and explain past events, to predictive and prescriptive analytics that forecast future outcomes and suggest actions. It highlights the role of Generative AI in automating data synthesis with GANs and VAEs, accelerating data exploration, and enhancing the entire data analytics pipeline. Key applications are detailed, including data synthesis to improve model training, anomaly detection to identify fraud, and data imputation to handle missing values. The presentation also emphasizes the importance of human-AI collaboration, ethical considerations like privacy preservation through synthetic data, and the need for transparency using techniques like SHAP and LIME. Finally, it looks to the future, focusing on technical trends like explainable GANs, emerging applications in real-time IoT analytics, and research into scalable, privacy-preserving frameworks.
