Conversations around the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on the job market have intensified in recent months. With high-profile announcements of layoffs and the increasing visibility of large language models (LLMs) that can generate and explain code, it’s natural that students, parents, and recent graduates are questioning the long-term value of a computer science (CS) degree. One recent contribution to this conversation comes from Boise State University Associate Professor Casey Kennington and Clinical Instructor Andre Keys, whose recent article draws directly from The Future of Programming in the Age of Large Language Models, a joint whitepaper from the Computing Community Consortium (CCC) and CRA-Industry (CRA-I). Their piece positions the CS […]
Computing Community Consortium Blog
The goal of the Computing Community Consortium (CCC) is to catalyze the computing research community to debate longer range, more audacious research challenges; to build consensus around research visions; to evolve the most promising visions toward clearly defined initiatives; and to work with the funding organizations to move challenges and visions toward funding initiatives. The purpose of this blog is to provide a more immediate, online mechanism for dissemination of visioning concepts and community discussion/debate about them.

Making the Case for the CS Degree in the Age of Artificial Intelligence
July 3rd, 2025 / in AI, CCC, CS education / by Catherine GillCCC and CRA-I Release Joint Whitepaper on the Future of Programming in the Age of Large Language Models
May 8th, 2025 / in Announcements, CCC, CRA-I / by Catherine GillThe Computing Community Consortium (CCC) is excited to announce the release of a new joint whitepaper with CRA-Industry, The Future of Programming in the Age of Large Language Models. A collaborative effort of leading experts in academia and industry Arjun Guha (Northeastern University) and Ben Zorn (Microsoft), this paper delves into the profound impact of large language models (LLMs) on the landscape of software development and computing education. In just a few short years, LLMs have evolved from research curiosities to powerful tools wielded by computing professionals, integrated into educational curricula, and driving new avenues of research. This rapid adoption has fundamentally shifted how we approach programming and how […]
