The End of Programming workshop brought together researchers and practitioners to explore alternative futures of programming in the age of generative AI. The workshop aimed to provoke critical and creative rethinking of how programming could evolve in a future where co-creating with AI becomes commonplace, as a way to move beyond improving usefulness and performance in current AI-supported tools and practices.

Participants were invited to speculate on new forms of interaction, challenge established roles and expressions in programming, and consider how AI might engage a broader range of human skills, values, and ways of knowing. Contributions spanned empirical studies, speculative prototypes, and conceptual re-framings — each reflecting on what it means to “program” when language models act not just as tools, but as conversational and generative partners. Through this, the workshop opened a space for reimagining programming practices beyond traditional modalities and toward more expressive, collaborative, and challenging forms of co-authorship with AI.
