I actually think it the opposite. I believe our so-called data engineers (who are ideally our existing BI developers, SQL developers, etc) will step into this role more than our software developers that are actually working on enterprise.

It will be up to them to implement and maintain such algorithms just it may be up to them to write ETL, SQL queries and more with the software developers and other business users such as the analyst or data scientist.

Of course, that does not mean the business won't try to add one more thing to the software developers plate, I think the passion to do it right will always fall on those who are generally interested in data such as those core data engineers, BI developers, SQL developer and so forth.
