Data analytics is becoming an essential part of corporate operations, planning, and innovation. In the Internet age, companies are generating an unprecedented amount of data, and an entire industry has grown out of the need to process and understand it. How have these insights helped change the way businesses interact with consumers? What is the difference between Artificial Intelligence and Big Data, and how are these technologies used to inform decision making?

At the same time, with this new technology comes new challenges. How do the inherent biases in data sets influence analytic outcomes and decision-making algorithms?
