Skill guide
Data science with AI
Data science uses data preparation, analysis, statistics, and machine learning to produce evidence, predictions, and decision support; generative AI can add natural-language or document capabilities where appropriate.
Why this capability matters
It creates a disciplined evidence layer beneath AI claims and helps teams choose methods based on the problem rather than hype.
What competent practice includes
Exploratory analysis
Feature and model selection
Evaluation and error analysis
Grounded analytics with RAG
End-to-end delivery
Portfolio evidence
A documented analysis or model pipeline with a business question, clean data, method choices, evaluation, limitations, and a usable delivery artifact.
