It feels like we don&#8217;t go a week without a company announcing that a key element of its product or service is getting an AI revamp. It causes a lot of anxiety over how the AI is handled, how it will affect people using the service, and whether or not it&#8217;s a sign that the company is slowly slipping into the territory of &#8220;AI slop.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Well, Canonical has just taken the podium and confirmed that, yes, it does plan to introduce AI to its Ubuntu operating system. But before you reach for the pitchforks, it&#8217;s worth taking a read as to what Canonical is actually planning with its AI, because from what I can infer, its proposed plan doesn&#8217;t sound all too bad.<\/p>\n<p>                    <span data-field=\"label\" class=\"article-card-label\">Related<\/span><\/p>\n<h5 class=\"display-card-title \">\n<p>\t\t\tFedora is becoming the default Linux recommendation, and Ubuntu did this to itself<\/p>\n<\/h5>\n<p>                               &#8230;<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.xda-developers.com\/ai-is-arriving-on-ubuntu-and-its-open-source-local-and-nothing-like-what-youre-worried-about\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AI is arriving on Ubuntu, and it&#8217;s open source, local, and nothing like what you&#8217;re&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":236452,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/static0.xdaimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/wm\/2026\/01\/ubuntu-pro-6.jpg?w=1600&h=900&fit=crop","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[48],"tags":[97,71,79],"class_list":["post-236451","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-linux","tag-fedora","tag-linux","tag-ubuntu"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/236451"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=236451"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/236451\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":236453,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/236451\/revisions\/236453"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/236452"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=236451"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=236451"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=236451"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
