LibreOffice Says It 'Will Not Add' AI Features to Document Editor for the Foreseeable Future

- The Document Foundation announced this week that LibreOffice will not add AI features to its default installation for the foreseeable future, describing the decision as a deliberate design position rather than a definitive rejection of the technology.

- Founding member Italo Vignoli explained the suite has responsibility to millions of users. "No AI is now a feature," the project stated, requiring any AI be "installable, removable, and absent" from the interface.

- Until AI technology improves, LibreOffice will exclude features from the default install but allow users to add AI via extensions. The organization will "closely monitor where the technology is actually heading.
