  3. What is Data Science? A field that turns raw data into useful insights Uses statistics, algorithms, and computing power Goal: find patterns, make predictions, guide decisions www.iabac.org

  4. Our Digital Footprints Social media posts, likes, and shares Shopping history (online & offline) Fitness trackers and health apps Location data from smartphones Every action = a piece of behavior data www.iabac.org

  5. Tools of Prediction Machine Learning: finds patterns in past behavior Natural Language Processing: understands emotions in text Recommendation Systems: predict what you might want next Together, they build a behavioral “map” of individuals www.iabac.org
