Fedora Will Allow AI-Assisted Contributions With Proper Disclosure & Transparency (www.phoronix.com)

The Fedora Council has finally come to a decision on allowing AI-assisted contributions to the project. The agreed upon guidelines are fairly straight-forward and will permit AI-assisted contributions if it's properly disclosed and transparent.

The AI-assisted contributions policy outlined in this Fedora Council ticket is now approved for the Fedora project moving forward. AI-assisted code contributions can be used but the contributor must take responsibility for that contribution, it must be transparent in disclosing the use of AI such as with the "Assisted-by" tag, and that AI can help in assisting human reviewers/evaluation but must not be the sole or final arbiter. This AI policy also doesn't cover large-scale initiatives which will need to be handled individually with the Fedora Council.

I think not allowing it at all would be worse, because then people start claiming not to use Ai while they secretly do. Allowing it with a disclosure at least makes this process a bit more transparent. You can think about ai what you want, at least handling it this way is better than not allowing it at all.
