Ansible Lightspeed offers AI-driven IT automation.
As part of the next phase of Project Wisdom, an open beta has been announced of Ansible Lightspeed, which uses the IBM Watson Code Assistant - a new generative AI service for automation with Ansible. This service uses natural language processing (NLP) to rapidly develop automation code, making automation faster, more consistent and more accurate. The open beta is expected to be available from June 2023.

Event-Driven Ansible Accelerates IT Automation.
A new implementation of Ansible works on an event-driven architecture, as opposed to the older request-based architecture. This means that automation does not depend on requests from the software, but rather Ansible itself determines what actions are needed based on observed software events. This allows automation to be configured much more efficiently and managed more easily. Event-Driven Ansible is expected to become widely available in June 2023.
