This is why data science, while still a relatively young field, has so many branches and areas of study such as artificial intelligence, deep learning, business intelligence, data examination, data mining, predictive analytics, etc. In order to do this, they need data scientists who will be able to handle their large data sets of structured and unstructured data. They will also convert all their physical data into electronic data and manipulate the unstructured data into a form that’s more suitable for data analysis and data warehousing. There are many who have the opinion that data science is just a fad which will fade away with time. Data science is picking up steam at a fast pace and percolating down into many more industries as the awareness about the importance of data spreads.
