Linus Torvalds turns to AI for Linux kernel development

Original: Linus Torvalds is using AI to develop Linux kernel code now The move is a turning point in the developer’s relationship

Linus Torvalds, the creator of Linux, is reportedly using AI tools to help develop Linux kernel code, including an AI-assisted kernel patch. The shift marks a notable change for Torvalds, who has historically been skeptical of AI hype. Developers and tech commentators are weighing what the move means for the future of open-source development and code review practices.

Why now: Torvalds has long voiced skepticism about AI, so his adoption of AI-assisted coding for the Linux kernel is seen as a significant shift in the debate over AI's role in software development
