My guess is it will, on average, increase demand.
ML is finicky; the model training pipeline itself isn’t the hard part, compared to setting up for the right question and examples used to train the model.
For small-to-mid firms, data scientists are super expensive. And they might only deliver a valuable project every six weeks (or, at bigger firms, every year...).
If automl increases their productivity, suddenly they don’t look so expensive.

However, the job of the DS will move toward the business side (e.g. req gathering, data gathering and prep) and less about the modeling itself. Also, there are a lot of data issues that are still in the releam of humans (e.g. imbalance data, correct labeling, etc).
