Linus Torvalds says he now uses AI to code on Linux

Linus Torvalds, creator of Linux, says he is now using artificial intelligence tools for programming and even experimenting with the Linux kernel, a notable shift after years of skepticism toward AI-assisted coding. Commenters note the caveat in his remarks: AI can help write code, but developers still have to fully understand it before it lands in the kernel. The reversal is drawing attention across the developer community.

Why now: Torvalds has long been a prominent AI skeptic, so his public embrace of AI coding tools marks a surprising shift for the Linux community.
