Data is the foundation for Artificial Intelligence models. Generative AI models rely on large amounts of high-quality data to learn patterns, relationships, and structures. Understanding various data stores helps students appreciate how data is stored, managed, and retrieved. This data is usually stored in a variety of data stores viz. relational databases, NoSQL databases, data lakes. Knowledge of these data stores will enable students process various data formats
