Red Hat, a leading provider of open-source software solutions, is expanding its generative AI capabilities to address the IT skills gap. The company plans to extend its Red Hat Lightspeed AI capabilities to its platforms, including Red Hat OpenShift and Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). By incorporating gen AI functionality into its portfolio, Red Hat aims to simplify enterprise IT, allowing platform engineers and developers to be more efficient and accurate. Red Hat is joining other enterprise IT vendors in incorporating generative AI capabilities into their offerings. However, budget constraints and uncertain return on investment may hinder the adoption of these new features.
