However, an AI cannot replicate the human touch that analysts have, although the machine can process, sort, and analyze data. Data analysts can work with context, perform an associative search, and feel patterns that are not so clear for an AI.
Part of a data analyst’s job entails presenting complicated data sets by distilling them down to more manageable and comprehensible ideas, an activity that AI cannot masterfully do to this date.
Moreover, while analyzing data, data analysts can apply moral, ethical, and societal to the data they consider which is more than what AI can do. It should also be noted that Data Analysts can ask questions concerning the data as well as its origin before analyzing it; something which cannot be said for AI, which always assumes the data it is fed is infallible.
With AI becoming more advanced, there’s a growing concern: A question has arisen as to whether AI will replace data analysts. It may be in some of them, but not all the time as most decision-making theories assume.
