No One Innovates Alone: How Open Source And Partner Ecosystems Are Unlocking AI For Enterprises
Red Hat News, Friday, April 4th, 2025
It's 2025, and the buzz around artificial intelligence (AI) is inescapable. Among other things, chatbots are handling customer service requests, marketing teams are using AI to personalize campaigns at scale and security analysts are leveraging machine learning to detect fraud almost before it happens.
But for all the excitement, many enterprises are still asking the same fundamental question: How do we actually make AI work for our business?
Here's a confession: when my role at Red Hat shifted from focusing on Linux operating systems and infrastructure-Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL)-to platforms explicitly built to run and scale AI workloads-RHEL AI and Red Hat OpenShift AI-I wasn't entirely sure what that meant. Sure, I could see the potential-AI-powered developer assistants speeding up coding tasks, AI-driven logistics optimizing supply chains and knowledgebase search tools transforming how employees access internal information.
