BigDATAwire, Tuesday, February 18th, 2025
AI isn't replacing the position of the data analyst, as some had feared, but it is making the data analyst's job more strategic, according to new research from Alteryx.
Instead of being looked upon as mere data mungers or spreadsheet jockeys, the data analyst's role is being elevated to that of important decision-maker, according to Alteryx's 2025 State of Data Analysts in the Age of AI report.
Alteryx's report, released today, says 87% of data analysts say their role has become more strategic for their organizations over the past year. What's more, 94% of the analysts say that AI is enhancing the strategic nature of their work.
