Join us in returning to NYC on June 5th to collaborate with executive leaders in exploring comprehensive methods for auditing AI models regarding bias, performance, and ethical compliance across diverse organizations. Find out how you can attend here.

Blink, and you might just miss the invention of yet another programming language. The old joke goes that programmers spend 20% of their time coding and 80% of their time deciding what language to use. In fact, there are so many programming languages out there that we are not sure how many we actually have. It’s probably safe to say there are at least 700 programming languages lingering in various states of use and misuse. There is always room for more improvement, it seems. 

As AI keeps pushing the envelope, it’s also pushing the limits of our most popular programming languages, Java, C and Python. And, like everything else, AI is another problem just begging for a new programming language to solve it. This time however, history suggests it might not be such a bad idea.  

In the beginning 

It is not the first time AI has driven a wave of new programming languages. The 1970s and 1980s saw a golden age of AI-focused languages like LISP and Prolog, which introduced groundbreaking concepts such as symbolic processing and logic programming. Then as now, AI was the hot topic. 

Notably, the LISP language profoundly impacted the future of software by introducing the functional programming paradigm, ultimately influencing the design of modern langu …
