π Core Analysis
Analysis Summary
Data scientists translate business questions into measurable problems, wrangle data, design experiments, and build/evaluate models. GenAI now accelerates subtasks (EDA, code scaffolding, documentation), but human-led problem framing, evaluation, governance, and productionization remain critical.
Career Recommendations
Own the full lifecycle (from data contracts to deployment and monitoring).
Specialize where demand is spiking (LLM evaluation, RAG, causal inference, time series).
Adopt MLOps best practices (experiments, registries, CI/CD for ML).
Use GenAI to accelerate EDA and prototyping; keep humans-in-the-loop for governance.
Communicate impact with clear metrics and cost-performance tradeoffs.
