# Zemlin at Open Source Summit EU: Even in the Age of AI, the Software’s Future Is Still Open Source

**[InfoQ](https://daily.dev/sources/infoq)** · 3 min read · 1 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Jim Zemlin from the Linux Foundation discussed the intersection of open source and AI at Open Source Summit Europe, highlighting how DeepSeek's open-source model demonstrates competitive performance with proprietary alternatives. He emphasized the $9 trillion economic value of open source software and predicted a shift toward agentic AI in 2025. While addressing concerns about AI replacing developers, Zemlin argued that AI should be embraced as a productivity tool with proper oversight, security scanning, and transparency, creating 'hyper-productive' human coders rather than replacing them entirely.
