WordPress has formed an AI team
WordPress announced on Tuesday that it has formed an AI team to steward the development of AI products among its developer community.
The team includes James LePage (leader of AI at Automattic, WordPress' parent company), Felix Arntz and Pascal Birchler from Google, and Jeff Paul (Director of Open Source at web design firm 10up).
As one of the most dominant platforms for building websites, WordPress has already seen developers within its open source community experiment with AI tools. The creation of a formalized team signals that WordPress wants to take a more active role in organizing and moderating AI efforts among developers.
'A unified team stewards AI development thoughtfully, avoids fragmentation, and ensures alignment with the long-term goals of WordPress,' WordPress Executive Director Mary Hubbard wrote in a blog post.
Currently, WordPress developers have published 660 different AI plugins. The most popular plug-ins include AI-powered template builders, AI SEO optimization tools, and chat bots.
