Jacob Rockowitz Calls for AI Adoption in Drupal Development and Schema.org Integration

At DrupalCon Atlanta, Jacob Rockowitz, known for his work on the Webform module, presented a perspective on the integration of AI and Schema.org into Drupal, emphasizing the need for the community to embrace AI to maintain productivity and relevance. In his blog post, Jacob reflects on his evolving view of AI—from skepticism to acceptance—prompted by discussions with Drupal contributors and sessions at recent DrupalCons. He argues that AI, if leveraged properly, can enhance productivity, particularly in areas like content translation and structured data. Highlighting the importance of Schema.org, Jacob sees potential in standardizing content architecture using AI, particularly through his Schema.org Blueprints module. He proposes extending AI capabilities in Drupal to generate structured data, suggest Schema.org properties, and improve data migrations. Jacob stresses that the community should shift its focus from resisting AI-generated outputs to supporting high-quality AI-assisted solutions and encourages others to explore AI within their own projects.
