Katharina Morik, expert level analysis
The answer to the question depends on the definition of "expert-level analysis". More and more subtsaks have been made available for automatic processing. However, the expert-level is exactly above. Hence, expert-level analysis becomes more and more demanding until it covers all science and philosophy. At this ultimate point, I doubt robots or other machines can operate without any expert-level above. But. I admit, this is then mere guessing.
Thomas W Dinsmore, Automating Data Science
It's fair to say that some data science tasks are automated today and some will never be automated. The key words, of course, are "expert level"
