Most analysts won’t lose their job to AI.

But many “SQL + dashboard” analysts will.

Right now the data world is split into two camps:

→ “AI will replace analysts.”
→ “Analysts are more important than ever.”

Both sides are partly right.

The real story:

The analyst role isn’t dying.
It’s evolving.

Knowing SQL and building dashboards was never the real value.

And with AI, it’s definitely not enough anymore.

The future analyst needs to:

• understand business context
• ask better questions
• structure messy problems
• drive decisions, not just reports

And data teams themselves will change too:

• Leaner teams
• AI-enhanced workflows
• Fewer dashboards
• More strategic thinking
• Focus on decisions, not reporting

The analyst isn’t dead.
The old analyst is.

The opportunity ahead is huge - but only for people willing to evolve.
