The maker of LibreOffice, the open source document editor, says it has no plans to add artificial intelligence features to the software's default configuration, according to TechCrunch.
The organization behind LibreOffice is citing user privacy concerns as the primary reason for the decision, positioning the absence of built-in AI as a selling point rather than a limitation.
The stance contrasts with a broader trend among major software makers, many of which have been integrating AI tools directly into their productivity applications in recent years.
It remains unclear whether optional AI integrations could be made available to users who want them, separate from the software's default setup.
