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.
