TechCrunch - Red Hat brings generative AI to IT automation with Ansible Lightspeed

Automation at its core is about distilling complex processes into a playbook or recipe of actions. The next step is building low-code and no-code workflows. The recent rise of generative AI could strip that process down even more to simply describing the process and letting the tool do the rest, creating a set of steps and providing the necessary code and tools to move it through a work process without much further human intervention required (at least in theory). That’s what Red Hat wants to do with Lightspeed, its new generative AI-driven tool being announced this week, and coming out later this year.
