What this unit is about

Data literacy is the ability to read, understand and use data. Since AI learns from data, good data leads to good AI.

1. Types of data

Data can be numbers (like marks), text (like names), images or sound. It is also called structured (neat tables) or unstructured (free text, images).

2. Acquiring and cleaning data

We collect data from surveys, sensors or records. Then we clean it, filling missing values and fixing errors, so it is ready to use. This is called data pre-processing.

3. Interpreting data

We study data to find its meaning, using simple statistics and charts. A chart makes patterns clear, so we can make good decisions.

Quick summary

Data literacy is the ability to read, understand and use data, and AI learns from data. Data can be numbers, text, images or sound, and structured (tables) or unstructured (free text, images). We collect data from surveys, sensors or records, then clean it (pre-processing) by filling gaps and fixing errors. Charts help us interpret data and make good decisions.
