Linus Torvalds to critics of AI coding in Linux: "Fork it. Or just walk away."
Ars Technica Kyle Orland ● Covered by 2 sources
Linus Torvalds stated that Linux will permit AI-powered coding tools and told critics to fork the project or leave if they oppose their use. Sashiko, an AI code review system, identified 53.6 percent of bugs found by human reviewers in tests but generated false positive reports at an estimated 20 percent rate. This position establishes that Linux kernel development will continue integrating AI tools despite opposition from some contributors.
