Description
JMP Workshop: Human + AI in the Loop: AI-Supported Analysis and Learning in JMP
Part of the ENBIS-26 Florence conference.
Instructors
Volker Kraft, PhD (JMP)
Winfried Theis (Kufuu Consulting)
Outline
Generative AI is rapidly changing how learners choose methods, run analyses, and interpret results — but what actually works in practice, and where do both humans and AI still stumble? In this post-conference, hands-on usability lab, participants will explore AI-supported statistical discovery in JMP using three free JMP Marketplace add-ins: Data Analysis Director (rule-based guidance to appropriate methods), LearnBot (AI tutoring), and the Assistant (help with running and interpreting analyses).
Structured as a “sandbox” usability lab, the session alternates short demos with guided testing. Attendees will try realistic teaching and applied scenarios, intentionally introduce common pitfalls (messy data, wrong assumptions, mis-specified questions, overconfident interpretations), and compare how different AI guidance styles behave. We’ll capture observations on when AI accelerates learning and insight, where it introduces friction or bias, how users calibrate trust, and what guardrails and classroom practices help most. The workshop concludes with a debrief and a take-home checklist for responsible AI-supported discovery and analysis.
