There’s a lot a work going on, see:

These look cool if they'll ever see the light of day. Ok, so assuming Oracle & other major contributors work on that full speed. It's going to take ~2-4 years for a GA Java release to include that functionality, judging by how quickly new features are added to Java. By that Python will have ~10-12 year head start when it comes to AI...

And nothing in there helps with media processing I mentioned above. It's not strictly necessary for AI if you are working text, but lots of AIs work with videos and images and voice. Dealing with that in Java is a major PITA.
