Why 2020 will be the Year of Automated Machine Learning

As the fuel that powers their ongoing digital transformation efforts, businesses everywhere are looking for ways to derive as much insight as possible from their data. The accompanying increased demand for advanced predictive and prescriptive analytics has, in turn, led to a call for more data scientists proficient with the latest artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) tools. But such highly-skilled data scientists are expensive and in short supply. In fact, they're such a precious resource that the phenomenon of the "citizen data scientist" has recently arisen to help close the skills gap. A complementary role, rather than a direct replacement, citizen data scientists lack specific advanced data science expertise.
