Calling all Citizen Data Scientists

At some point in our careers, we are asked to "stretch" beyond our core strengths--and then quickly scour all available resources to get up to speed. With more organizations leveraging AI for better, data-driven decision-making, these "stretch" opportunities are a daily reality for many. A study published by Element AI in 2018 estimated that only 22,000 researchers in the world are able to pursue serious machine learning research.[1] As talent gaps compete with rising demands, we've seen the emergence of the "citizen data scientist." A citizen data scientist is usually someone with a strong technical acumen who, while not a data scientist by training, relies more and more on self-service analytics and AI tools--the superpowers we need to thrive today.
