Linus Torvalds has firmly stated his support for AI-powered coding tools in the Linux kernel, dismissing critics by suggesting they can fork the project or simply leave. In a recent mailing list thread, he emphasized that Linux is not an anti-AI project and that he is willing to enforce this stance.
The debate centered on Sashiko, an AI-driven kernel code review tool that claims to catch over half of bugs in tests, despite a false positive rate within the 20% range. Torvalds’ comments signal his commitment to integrating AI assistance into the kernel development process.
