Is data science still among the sexiest jobs of the 21st century?

In 2012, data science was described as the'Sexiest job of the 21st century' by Harvard Business Review. Six years later, is it still true? With explosive growth in the volume of data in recent years and the resulting disruption in business, it's no surprise that the ability to capture, analyse and use data -- particularly to power artificial intelligence -- continues to be highly sought after. The data scientist role has become an increasingly critical one, uncovering patterns and insights that help businesses stay competitive by allowing them to quickly respond to trends and customer needs. While still sexy, the role has most certainly evolved.
