Can you keep up with the pace of AI recently? Since the launch of ChatGPT, we have witnessed a thunderstorm of new Large Language Models. It seems like these models can do virtually everything – they can answer any question, write code, and even analyze data on their own! Are we nearing the day when data scientists become obsolete?
This couldn’t be further from the truth. Yes, the tools are different; yes, the timetables for a jaw-dropping PoC have changed. However, the major challenges remain the same, and the data science skill set is still required.
Through a review of a recent named-entity recognition (NER) project in the medical domain at K-health, we will witness how the basic structure of a data science project remains as it was. We will mention some of the new tools that have already changed our workday as data scientists, as well as some of the skills that are expected to remain relevant in the foreseeable future.
