Will There Be a Shortage of Data Science Jobs in the Next 5 Years? - KDnuggets

I have been in the data science field for the last half-decade when python programming came into the trend. Back then, in 2016, neural networks and deep learning were just some buzzy words. At that time, there was a hype about Google self-driving cars and reinforcement learning. But, most of the data science enthusiasts were not even aware of the working of neural networks. Today in 2021, most companies are adopting a data science strategy to make more revenue by automating different scenarios and replacing dozens of IT people with a single data scientist who can automate the task of those IT people using various automating tools like BluePrism, UI Path, Python and machine learning algorithms.
