Will AI End Distinct Programming Languages?

For the first time ever, IEEE Spectrum is hosting an interactive session to discuss whether AI spells the end of distinct programming languages as we know it.  

Every year, IEEE Spectrum publishes a respected annual ranking of the year’s Top Programming Languages—but could this year be our last? 

We're bringing our expert team together with an audience of tech enthusiasts, developers, and industry leaders to discuss the evolving landscape of programming languages in the age of artificial intelligence. Top journalists who have been covering programming languages for decades will talk about: 

• How AI is rapidly changing the landscape of programming languages
• Why knowing the best languages might not be necessary in your career
• What skills you'll need instead

Join the conversation to explore 2025's ranking of Top Programming Languages and get a glimpse into how AI will impact the ranking in 2026, or maybe even end it entirely. 

Key learnings:

• Prepare for how AI will impact your career in programming
• Know what skills are valuable in the current software job market

• Understand what is changing when AI can code, and what is staying the same
