I conducted a session on Thu, 02 Jul 2026 at [PGP-BA Multivariate Data Analysis — Term 4](https://www.iimb.ac.in/programmes/pgpba) - IIM Bangalore.

**Summary**: AI makes sophisticated analytical methods cheap and accessible. The scarce skill becomes choosing the right analysis, questioning assumptions, and judging whether results matter.
