In this episode, we chat about the current landscape of data science in 2025, looking beyond the headlines dominated by large language models. We see that while advances in the past five years in deep learning have led to new work in natural language processing and computer vision, tabular data analysis and classic machine learning remain a key part of the field. We also discuss the increasingly specialised roles within the data science ecosystem, talk about the evolving toolset that practitioners are using, and see which challenges face modern data science projects.
