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.

@passepartout
Perhaps if AI were explicitly asked to write code in pidgin English (specifically something which is not meant to be compilable), and then that was used as the basis of actual code development?
