The Evolution of Data Science Roles
The term 'data scientist' has gained traction due to its flexibility in encompassing a broad range of roles within data handling. Originally, the lack of clear labels in the data field led to the creation of this catch-all term, allowing professionals from diverse backgrounds to contribute effectively. As the field evolves, increased specialization in data roles is expected, with a resurgence of traditional skills like data governance and design. This restructuring signifies a shift in responsibilities where foundational data handling skills remain crucial among new technological advancements like AI.
