When I studied in graduate school, we were expected to be able to do complex matrix multiplication on a piece of paper. MATLAB, R, Stata, and other tools were not introduced to us until much later. If we’re moving into the age of AI, do these skills even still matter?
And if knowledge of Statistics is not important anymore, what skills should we, as hiring managers, look out for in the Data Science roles of the next decade?
Hot take: if AI can one day replace a statistician, surely it can replace a hiring manager.
and yes, I wrote all that :)
