Introduction
Drupal is leading the way in AI capabilities for CMS solutions, this is immensely exciting for the next phase of the CMS. We've already shared our thoughts on this, looking at all the ways Drupalis enhancing editor experiences and user interactions. You can check that out here: https://www.zoocha.com/articles/unleashing-ai-drupal-practical-opportunities-smarter-digital-experiences.
With our excitement for everything AI and Drupal, it's only natural that we joined the Drupal AI initiative, which we are now a proud sponsor of.
What is the Drupal AI Initiative?
The Drupal AI Initiative is the open-source power team behind driving AI capabilities in Drupal. This collection of individuals from organisations around the globe is focused on bringing AI functionality to Drupal that is practical, effective, and ethical. Their vision statement speaks for itself:
Ultimately, the Drupal AI initiative aims to cut through the hype of AI and focus exceptional technical minds on actually developing a CMS with inbuilt AI features that support editors and enhance user experiences. Drupal is a recognised Public Good, and this ethos is reflected in how we're approaching AI within this initiative, where the adoption of AI is designed to be safe, ethical and always supported by human intervention.
We aim to enhance human capabilities with AI, and not replace them, leading with an AI-Human partnership that actually delivers value and gives content teams more time to think strategically, develop exciting ideas, and not get bogged down in the mundane.
Crucially, at the AI initiative we avoid vendor lock-in with AI providers, this is fundamental to the flexibility and freedom that is at the core of Drupal. Being driven by a community, we're able to prioritise solutions that actually matter to users, rather than appease stakeholders or hit corporate targets.
Keep up with AI and Drupal
We'll keep our news and clients updated with everything coming out of the AI initiative that is exciting and relevant, but you can also keep up with the initiative yourself through the Drupal page https://www.drupal.org/about/starshot/initiatives/ai or Slack spaces linked in the description. Drupal thrives on community, and fresh persepctives are always encouraged!
