Course details

As AI takes on more of the analytical work, the most valuable thing a data professional can do is accurately and efficiently evaluate what comes back. Output evaluation is a learnable skill, and it's what separates analysts who use AI well from those who don't. In this course, Mo Chen teaches a systematic framework for evaluating any AI output—whether it's yours, a colleague's, or a tool's—across the full range of error types and validity checks.


Learning objectives
Identify and categorize common types of AI errors in data analysis contexts.
Apply cross-verification techniques to fact-check AI-generated claims against source data.
Assess statistical and logical validity in AI outputs using a practical red-flag checklist.
Build a personal evaluation workflow tailored to the analyses you do most often.
Produce a confidence-rated evaluation scorecard for any AI analysis you need to act on.

Concepts

Introduction

  • Why output evaluation is the new core skill

How AI Gets Things Wrong

  • Name the four ways AI analysis actually breaks
  • Evaluate a confident AI report where every number is right

Fact-Checking and Verification

  • Check a number three ways before you quote it
  • Find the correct numbers that would still mislead your stakeholders

Testing the Reasoning

  • Score an AI insight before you let it leave the room
  • Score confident-looking insights and decide what survives

Rerunning the Analysis

  • Ask again
  • Watch the same question produce the opposite recommendation

Build Your Evaluation Workflow

  • Fold all checks into one scorecard you keep
  • Let AI draft the scorecard, then make the call yourself
