Software & AI

AI software systems—language models, automation tools, and intelligent algorithms—are the primary vector of disruption for this role.

LLMs perform statistical analysis, write R/Python code, and interpret results competently. AutoML platforms automate model selection. However, the core value of statisticians — designing valid studies, choosing appropriate methods for novel problems, communicating uncertainty to decision-makers — requires deep methodological expertise AI currently lacks.
