R

Will AI replace R programming language developers in 2026?

The question is about R .

Answer:
AI will not replace R developers in 2026. R remains the standard language for statistical analysis, biostatistics, academic research, and actuarial computing, where its rich package ecosystem-such as ggplot2, dplyr, tidyr, and Shiny-has no equivalent. AI tools assist with R script generation, but experienced R developers remain crucial for complex statistical modelling, clinical trial analysis, and the development of production Shiny dashboards.
