Data science is a multidisciplinary field that combines statistics, computer science, and domain expertise to extract meaningful insights from data. It involves collecting, cleaning, analyzing, and interpreting large volumes of structured and unstructured data to support decision-making and innovation. In artificial intelligence, data science provides the foundation for building and training models, using algorithms to identify patterns and make predictions. Data scientists use tools such as Python, R, and SQL alongside machine learning frameworks to process and visualize data efficiently. The field plays a vital role across industries—from finance and healthcare to marketing and technology—helping organizations make data-driven decisions and gain competitive advantages.
