Deciding which programming language to learn is a big question for developers today because of the huge investment in time it takes. But that question could be rendered redundant in a future where artificial intelligence (AI) models do all the heavy lifting by understanding a problem's description and coding a solution. Researchers from Google's AI-focused unit DeepMind claim its AlphaCode system can express solutions to problems in code that achieves a median-level score in programming competitions undertaken by new programmers. Those competitions require humans to comprehend a problem described in natural language and then code an algorithm efficiently. DeepMind says its research could eventually help programmers code more efficiently and open up the field to people who don't code.
