The Best AI Tools That Make Learning Data Science Easier in 2025
Data science is one of the most valuable skills in today’s digital economy. But for many beginners in Kenya, it feels overwhelming—too much math, too much code, too many tools.
Luckily, AI is changing the game.
Today, you can use smart tools that make it easier to learn, practice, and even apply data science—without needing a PhD or years of experience.
Here’s a breakdown of the top AI-powered tools that are beginner-friendly, accessible, and powerful for aspiring data scientists in 2025.
