# RedHat Plans to Add AI to Fedora and GNOME
2025-02-04
In Christian F.K. Schaller's post [Looking ahead at 2025 and Fedora Workstation and jobs on offer!](https://blogs.gnome.org/uraeus/2025/02/03/looking-ahead-at-2025-and-fedora-workstation-and-jobs-on-offer/) he discusses how the Red Hat team is looking into using IBM's [Granite](https://www.ibm.com/granite) AI models to compliment the development of Fedora Linux and GNOME.
> One big item on our list for the year is looking at ways Fedora Workstation can make use of artificial intelligence. [...]
>
> We been brainstorming various ideas in the team for how we can make use of AI to provide improved or new features to users of GNOME and Fedora Workstation. [...]

> ... that we offer a good Code Assistant based on Granite and that we come up with other cool integration points.
I'm still not sure how I feel about this approach. While [IBM Granite](https://www.ibm.com/granite) is an open source model, I still don't enjoy so much artifical "intelligence" creeping into core OS development. This also isn't something optional on the end-users side, like a desktop feature or package. This sounds like it's going to be built directly into the core system.
Red Hat has been [pushing hard towards AI](https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/future-ai-open-source) and my main concern is having this influence other operating system dev teams. Luckily things seems AI-free in BSD land. For now, at least.
