Data Scientists Will be Extinct in 10 Years - KDnuggets

Here are the results of the KDnuggets Poll inspired by this blog: Relax! As advances in AI continue to progress in leaps and bounds, accessibility to data science at a base level has become increasingly democratized. Traditional entry barriers to the field such as a lack of data and computing power have been swept aside with a continuous supply of new data startups popping up(some offering access for as little as a cup of coffee a day) and all powerful cloud computing removing the need for expensive onsite hardware. Rounding out the trinity of prerequisites, is the skill and know-how to implement, which has arguably become the most ubiquitous aspect of data science. One does not need to look far to find online tutorials touting taglines like "implement X model in seconds", "apply Z method to your data in just a few lines of code". In a digital world, instant gratification has become the name of the game.
