What AI Changes

Tasks AI can handle

Running standard statistical analyses, generating charts, cleaning data, writing SQL queries, and producing summary reports from structured data.

Where humans stay essential

Framing the right question, identifying data quality issues, interpreting results in business context, communicating insights to non-technical stakeholders, and making judgment calls on methodology.

This role balances rapid tool adoption, ambiguous problem-solving. AI can augment the more structured tasks, while the overall task structure anchors the human contribution.

Skills to focus on

Problem Framing

Defining what question the data should answer before touching a single query

Statistical Reasoning

Knowing when a result is meaningful vs. a statistical artifact or coincidence

Storytelling with Data
