anybody can be a 'data scientist' or a programmer that deals with data wrangling, the barrier to basic competency is really low. There are qualifications you can earn but you don't really need them to call yourself a professional. There certainly isn't any formal body regulating these professions (like there are doctors and actual engineers). Having them adhere to the Hippocratic Oath would be ridiculous and undermine the seriousness of the work actual oath-taking doctors do. Better systems and proofs of qualifications are required before you starting insisting on 'first, do no harm'.
