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.

Awh yeah because the type of person to use a chatbot is definitely the type of person to be honest and not take credit for what the chatbot outputs. No fucker is gonna disclose this unless they're trying to sell a chatbot model to a greater fool.
