AI is reshaping how we build software—and Java is evolving across the platform to meet that opportunity. This keynote explores how Java’s language, libraries, and runtime provide the foundations for efficient, reliable AI applications. We’ll examine advances delivered through JDK 27, alongside ongoing initiatives such as Projects Leyden, Valhalla, Detroit, and Babylon, that expand Java’s possibilities in an AI world. Join us to discover how Java’s continuing evolution—and the community driving it—can help you build what comes next in the AI era.
