Webinar: Will AI End Distinct Programming Languages?
AI agents can create code, but don’t understand the underlying logic
Join Stephen Cass, Dina Genkina, and Kohava Mendelsohn as they discuss whether AI spells the end of distinct programming languages as we know it. IEEE Spectrum publishes a respected annual ranking of the year’s Top Programming Languages—but could this year be our last? This recording of the live webinar covers how AI is rapidly changing the landscape of programming languages, why knowing the best languages might not be necessary in your career, and what skills you’ll need instead.
Stephen Cass is the special projects editor at IEEE Spectrum. He currently helms Spectrum's Hands On column, and is also responsible for interactive projects such as the Top Programming Languages app. He has a bachelor's degree in experimental physics from Trinity College Dublin.
Dina Genkina is an associate editor at IEEE Spectrum focused on computing and hardware. She holds a PhD in atomic physics and lives in Brooklyn.
Kohava Mendelsohn is the IEEE Spectrum's Community Manager. She has a bachelors degree in engineering science with a major in robotics from the University of Toronto and a masters in science journalism from New York University.
