The author believes that we are living in a fascinating era of technology where data is playing an increasingly important role, and every generation will make this claim. The term Data Science emerged in the early 2000s as big data was on the rise, with digitally native companies building businesses around new data sources, changing the focus of computer science from computation to data. Fast forward to today, a new form of artificial intelligence has augmented human capabilities over the past decade, with data becoming a way of life, thinking, reasoning, understanding, and communicating. Data alone do not change the world; it is through decisions based on data that we affect the world around us. The author proposes building people-literate technology, where technology understands what we need and delivers that for us, with the traditional role of the CIO fading and the Chief Data & Analytics Officer becoming the true information officer in the organization. The contribution and responsibility of data scientists will be elevated to something essential: running the business with data.
