When Will AI Replace Analyste en informatique décisionnelle ?

The impact of AI on Data Scientists is unfolding in stages. Early disruptions are already visible, with junior data analysts and entry-level data scientists facing job market contraction as early as 2027, with companies hiring 30% fewer junior positions. This indicates a clear trend of AI taking over foundational tasks.

By 2030, a significant 40% of Data Scientist tasks are projected to be automated. This wave will increasingly affect routine analysis, model building, and data preparation, areas currently being revolutionized by AutoML platforms.

Mid-level data scientists focusing solely on standard modeling without specialized domain expertise or AI research skills will face challenges by 2030. The landscape is shifting from pure model building to more strategic and specialized applications of AI.

Junior data analysts and entry-level data scientists are most at risk, with job market contraction starting as early as 2027. Companies are expected to hire 30% fewer junior positions. Those focused on standard modeling without deep domain knowledge or AI research skills at the mid-level will also struggle by 2030.

Senior data scientists who pivot to AI research, MLOps architecture, or deep domain specialization (healthcare AI, financial fraud detection, climate modeling) can extend their careers to 2033 and beyond. These roles will see demand increase as AI integration deepens.

You have a critical 3-6 year window to transition from a 'model builder' to an 'AI strategist' or 'research scientist.' The key to survival lies in adapting your skillset to higher-level strategic thinking and specialized AI applications, rather than focusing solely on building models.

Leverage AutoML platforms like H2O Driverless AI, DataRobot, and Google's Vertex AI to your advantage, but focus on the questions you ask and the strategic direction you provide. True value will come from your ability to conceptualize and guide AI initiatives, not just execute them.
