Java is positioning itself as a strong contender in AI and machine learning, leveraging cloud infrastructure, frameworks, and integration with business logic. Oracle and Azul highlight Java's reliability, performance, and existing enterprise presence as key advantages. Frameworks like Tribuo, LangChain4j, and CoreNLP are set to boost Java's AI capabilities. Although Python currently dominates the field, experts believe Java's strengths in performance, scalability, and resource efficiency could make it a significant player in the future.

Can Java rival Python in AI development?

It is possible if done the right way but it will take a long time, thus we rather use the most optimal and less time consuming way which i using Python

Python will remain the go-to for AI/ML for the rest of its lifetime. Not to mention, the runner up certainly won’t be java.

As a non-programmer and person who did not read this article, I know enough to say, most developers would rather write AI dev in brainf**k then do it in Java with its public static void main boiler plate.
Reason 1 JVM
Reason 2 why would a PHD math nerd and Data scientist waste time having to learn Java when most libraries for AI and ML that have been developed and fine tuned for years are all on python and are still heavy develop for python.
Reason 3 ChatGPT is your Python coder in doing your graphs for work. We all do it.
I probably know nothing.
