I started a CS degree in 2002. Back then there was a worry about programming jobs being around due to out sourcing. Fast forward a few years and it turned out that worry proved to be unnecessary. It turned out that communication was a critical part of software development and that is hard to do with time zone differences. I think AI will also end up not being a huge concern, even in 20 years. Once you learn more about programming, you'll learn how truly far off we are. One AI researcher pointed out that worrying about something like that is like worrying about overcrowding on Mars when we haven't even sent a person there yet. In the mean time, there is actually a lot of really boring, grinding, work in a programming job. Better AI will take that over more and more which leaves more time for programmers to work on more interesting things!
