Will automation eliminate data science positions?

~ Brandon McGee ~ Leave a comment
  • “The most important question in data science is not which machine learning algorithm to choose or even how to clean your data. It is the questions you need to ask before even one line of code is written: What data do you choose and what questions do you choose to ask of that data?
  • So while parts of core machine learning are automated (in fact, we even teach some of the ways to automate those workflows), the data munging, data cleaning and feature engineering (which comprises 90% of the real work in data science) cannot be safely automated away.”

Can AI Help Us Build a More Resilient Economy in the Face of COVID-19?

~ Brandon McGee ~ Leave a comment

“Phase 1: The Exchange of Data for Automation – First, we will exchange data for automation by providing digital records of our work as training data for the AI to learn and mimic how we do our work.

Phase 2: Teaching the AI to Refine Its Model of How We Work – Once we have AI that is good enough to help us, we move to collaboration. We let AI attempt to replicate our work, and we judge to see if it’s able to match our quality.

Phase 3: Full AI Automation and Job Shift – Likewise, the complete automation of our work by AI means that our jobs will shift. This will shift the nature of our work to something more important and more strategic. It will also shift our work towards tasks that require more human empathy”
