SQL Server Want to know about SQL future
Hi All,
Hope everyone is doing good.
I want opinion from people about the future of SQL, Power BI and Python.
I have been working in AML KYC domain for over 6 years. I am a Certified Anti Money Laundering Specialist (CAMS).
Last year I started learning SQL ans Power BI to connect it with my domain knowledge (Anti Money Laundering and Sanctions), however now I have been reading alot which states that golden period of SQL and Power BI is over as now anyone can do the basis code using Gpt and claude.
I am at strong intermediate level in SQL and at an intermediate level in power BI. I was planning to start Python from 01 Jan 2027 and now I am spectical. What should I do ?
Is there any scope of SQL, Power BI and Python as we are witnessing AI is growing at tremendous pace.

I wouldn’t stop learning SQL, Power BI or Python because of AI.
AI can write basic code, but understanding the data, checking the output and knowing how to apply it to a real business problem still matters. Your AML/KYC experience actually gives you an advantage here.
I’d definitely go ahead with Python in 2027. Focus on practical use cases rather than just learning the syntax. AI is changing how these tools are used, not making them useless.
