This is one of the most dangerous questions out there. Assuming we are talking full real hard AI, when machines can effectively program, they don't need english (or human) language constructs. The resulting programs probably won't even be introspectable by humans. What programming language is your consciousness written in? As far as OOP vs. functional programming goes, OOP is a construct to help tiny human brains can try and chunk away complexity at lower layers so stuff "just works." Done well, it simplifies mental models. Done poorly, you end up with factoryfactoryfactories. Functional programming seems the more sane choice since a machine won't care about added syntactic burdens of passing state around everywhere. Any more speculation on this topic veers off into unsubstantiatable science fiction territory.
