What this task is
Turning data into bar charts, line charts and dashboards, choosing the right chart type, scale and colors so readers can see the conclusion at a glance.
How AI replaces it
Since 2022, AI features in business intelligence tools suggest and build charts from data and a question, and language models can write plotting code directly. Routine visualization should be largely automated by around 2027.
What stays human
Analysts decide what story the data should tell and which numbers to emphasize, and make sure charts are accurate and don't mislead the people reading them.
