Data Scientist
AI Resilience Score
Your role has good resilience - AI will change how you work but not replace what you do.
For context: Nurses score 90 (highly resilient). Bookkeepers score 28 (low resilience). Most roles fall between 40-70.
Data science is being augmented, not replaced — the problems are getting harder
While AI automates basic modelling, the problems requiring data scientists are becoming more complex. Feature engineering, experiment design, and causal reasoning remain deeply human.
