As a Senior ML Scientist, there’s one industry secret I want to tell you. It’s changing the data science field drastically, But no one is talking about it. Here it is: AI is now doing 70–80% of a data scientist’s work. When I realized this, genuinely, deeply it shook me. Because for a while, that was my job. That was my identity. But here’s what separates people who will thrive from those who’ll quietly get automated: → They’re not clinging to the old way of doing data science. → They’re stepping into the one thing AI can’t do: Strategic thinking. Let me explain. In this new world, your value isn’t in what you build, it’s in why you build it. Can you: ✅ Frame the right questions? ✅ Align your work with real business outcomes? ✅ Influence decisions - not just show dashboards? This is what makes you irreplaceable. So if you're a working professional thinking of switching into data science, don’t make the mistake of just learning Python and SQL. That’s the baseline now. And luckily, we have platforms like Bosscoder Academy, who will help you from basics to advanced level of data science skills. Check them here - http://bit.ly/4mdsR1h They have helped 2200+ working professionals through structured curriculum, personal mentorship from professionals, real business case studies, placement support and much more. It’s time to make AI your best-friend. #DataScience #AI #career #sponsoredpost

Here's an open secret we've all known for a while - human analysts have done the work of managers for years. When an analyst pumps prompts into an AI model, how is it different from a manager who can't do the work, but knows what he needs, and tells his analyst what to do?

Transforming the data science landscape requires a focus on strategic thinking, where our true value lies in the 'why' rather than just the 'what.'
