Intelligence now sits at the center of how the web works. Treating it as a side feature is a fast way to fall behind. The task for Drupal is clear. Make intelligence part of the platform’s fabric while keeping people in charge. That balance is the difference between shallow gimmicks and durable change, and it is the line Drupal is built to hold.
Drupal’s structure is the advantage. Content types, fields, and taxonomy give models clear context to reason with. A modular core and open ecosystem let teams integrate, swap, and extend without lock-in. Opinionated recipes and templates can turn complex tasks into one-click flows that editors actually use. This is not theater. It is practical intelligence wired into everyday work.
Community is the force multiplier. Shared ownership, shared funding, and a shared roadmap keep power with the people who use and build the platform. Governance matters, so review steps, audit trails, and transparent controls stay front and center. Humans set the vision and tone, the system accelerates execution. Hold that line and Drupal does not just keep up. It leads.
