The premise
Your county wants a measles dashboard by Friday. You're an epidemiologist, not a SQL native. AI can write the queries against your case-management database — but the case-definition logic is yours to defend.
What AI does well here
- Translate a case definition into a SQL query.
- Suggest pivot/aggregation patterns you may not know.
- Generate the visualization config (Tableau, Power BI, Looker).
- Document each query in plain language for the methods section.
What AI cannot do
- Validate that your underlying data is clean.
- Know the privacy thresholds your jurisdiction uses for small-cell suppression.
- Decide what the public dashboard should and shouldn't show.
