'The Single Biggest Bottleneck For All Machine Learning Is Software Engineering' Articles Big Data

I don't think that the role of a data scientist will be under threat anytime soon. It is true that similar to everything else within tech, automation, and abstraction within ML will slowly climb to higher and higher levels. As a result, we'd need fewer data scientists and ML engineers in a few years for the same task compared to what we do. It's just that the total number of things that would need to be done using ML would continue rising up at a faster rate. As a result, I think that the total demand (and consequently the supply) for people with machine learning skills and background will skyrocket in the next decade.
