Do we really need Data Scientists?
summary
Claims that Data Science is dying give way to a different point: the job needs clearer definition. Evidence: Google Trends shows a slow decline since mid‑2020; a 65‑person survey finds 40 data scientists and 20 managers, managers rank designing and deploying models highest, yet 90% of managers report trouble finding those skills and over 50% of data scientists say their tasks are unclear. Mentioned tooling and practices include Python and R, model validation, API endpoints and ML deployment.
