AI development can be split into three categories: developing an ML model (where Java isn’t competitive and is unlikely to become top of the class any time soon), developing an AI-centered product (where Java is well-positioned and will become stronger soon; but does this category matter in the long run?) and adding AI-based features to larger projects (where Java is already very good and will only become stronger thanks to Valhalla’s value types, Panama’s FFM and vector APIs, and Babylon’s code reflection).
