Canonical's approach to AI is refreshingly thoughtful - Microsoft should take note
SMRTR summary
Canonical is taking a careful, user-first approach to AI in Ubuntu Linux 26.04, favoring open-source models, local on-device processing, and optional opt-in features rather than forcing AI on users. Unlike Microsoft, which pushes Copilot everywhere by default and relies on proprietary cloud services, Ubuntu splits AI into background improvements and clearly labeled optional tools, keeping users in control of their data and experience.
