2021 trends data scientists should follow

I read analyst reports to keep myself up to date with what is going on in the analytics and AI world.

I trust them because I have lived through the rigorous evaluation process that goes on behind the scenes for creating those reports. The recently released 2021 Gartner MQ for Data Science and Machine Learning contains a wealth of information and here are my takes on key market trends from that report for data scientists. This evaluation features SAS Viya with its SAS Data Science offerings.
