In my experience, you'll need fewer of those people because the AI will do most of the time consuming work.
For example, an analyst can look a bunch of messy data and put down in words what's needed to put together the data for AI to do.
Then they can look at the results and make english/verbal/written comments on mistakes or cases that were missed and then run it again.
The work needed is in articulating how to get the data into a format that's useful and not to actually go line by line to do that.
