When will the data scientist be replaced by AI? - IBM Developer

When it comes to data science nobody is asking the question of when AI will replace the data scientist. A common complaint is that there is a huge demand for data scientists and AI engineers, but have you ever thought that a data scientist's work is highly repetitive and that machine learning algorithms eventually will be able to learn from data scientists what to do with the data? So, is a data scientist's work repetitive? Especially, but not limited to deep learning, a lot of work involves a trial-and-error style tweaking of the abundance of different knobs you can tune. All of this can be done by a machine and sometimes more effectively.
