Will AI replace PLC programmer?

AI is unlikely to fully replace PLC programmers, as their role involves designing, programming, and troubleshooting complex automation systems that require human judgment and expertise. While AI can assist with tasks like code generation and diagnostics, skilled programmers are essential for system integration, customization, and ensuring safety standards. Continuous learning of programming languages and automation tools remains important in this evolving field.
