An internal memo dispatched by senior execs at Red Hat suggests the software biz is starting to push AI tooling within its Global Engineering department. RHEL may be about to get some Windows 11-style “improvements.”
It carries the heading “Engineering that’s evolved and amplified for the AI era,” and for any AI skeptics in the developer teams at Red Hat, the tone of the email may raise alarm bells. The times are changing, it states.
Hopefully it’s just AI tools for development they’re talking about (though that will be bad enough if RHEL becomes vibecoded slop) and not stupid AI “features” baked into the OS.
