How to Cope with the Rise of the Citizen Data Scientist

Gartner predicts that, by 2020, due in large part to the automation of data science tasks, citizen data scientists will surpass data scientists in the amount of advanced analytics produced.

Does that mean that Enterprise AI and augmented analytics render the job of a data scientist obsolete? Well - yes and no. Yes in that the work they’re doing today probably will not be the work they will be doing five years from now, but no that in data scientists will still exist and be essential for other specialized and high-impact tasks. Having citizen data scientists do more advanced work vis-a-vis AutoML or, more broadly, augmented analytics, frees up data scientists to work on more specialized tasks.
