AI can generate a query that runs, but do you know if the output is actually correct?

Registration is open for the SQL for Data Analysis certificate at the USF Data Institute. Led by data leader Adam Rhuberg, this live, online course teaches you how to extract, transform, and analyze data from real-world databases. More importantly, it focuses on helping you validate, debug, and verify AI-generated queries so you can defend your numbers with confidence when business decisions are on the line.

Whether you are starting from scratch or looking to sharpen your analytics foundation, no prior SQL experience is required.

The course begins October 6 and meets weekly until November 17.

Last week, we had the great opportunity to host Josh Starmer, the creator of StatQuest! His YouTube channel provides educational videos to over 1.6 million viewers, explaining concepts such as means testing, p-values, distributions, and the mathematics of Large Language Models.

During his visit, Josh presented a highly anticipated seminar to the students in the MSDSAI program. We were also very happy that he visited two local schools, Saints Peter & Paul and Notre Dame des Victoires. There, he presented his children’s book, "Norm and 'Squatch Make a New Friend." The book uses the scenario of a French fry eating contest to demonstrate exactly how statistics apply to predictive models! In addition to these talks, we also sat down with Josh and had him for our podcast. Stay tuned for the release in the coming weeks.

We are very grateful to Josh for his presentations to both the university and the local school students. He is always welcome here in San Francisco, and we consider him a great friend of the Institute. We will share more behind-the-scenes content from his visit soon!
