Hello folks,
as you might now, there is a proposal for a new *Fedora AI-Assisted
Contributions Policy* which the Councils hould vote on soon.
Since the first proposal, it has evolved based on your feedback.
Here is what we are about to vote on:
*Fedora AI-Assisted Contributions Policy*
=========================================
1. You *MAY* use AI assistance for contributing to Fedora, as long as you
follow the principles described below.
2. *Accountability:* You *MUST* take the responsibility for your contribution:
Contributing to Fedora means vouching for the quality, license compliance, and
utility of your submission. All contributions, whether from a human author or
assisted by large language models (LLMs) or other generative AI tools, must
meet the project's standards for inclusion. The contributor is always the
author and is fully accountable for their contributions.
3. *Transparency:* You *MUST* disclose the use of AI tools when the
significant part of the contribution is taken from a tool without changes. You
*SHOULD* disclose the other uses of AI tools, where it might be useful. Routine
use of assistive tools for correcting grammar and spelling, or for clarifying
language, does not require disclosure.
Information about the use of AI tools will help us evaluate their impact,
build new best practices and adjust existing processes.
Disclosures are made where authorship is normally indicated. For
contributions tracked in git, the recommended method is an `Assisted-by:`
commit message trailer. For other contributions, disclosure may include
document preambles, design file metadata, or translation notes.
Examples:
Assisted-by: generic LLM chatbot
Assisted-by: ChatGPTv
4. *Contribution & Community Evaluation:* AI tools may be used to assist human
reviewers by providing analysis and suggestions. You MUST NOT use AI as the
sole or final arbiter in making a substantive or subjective judgment on a
contribution, nor may it be used to evaluate a person's standing within the
community (e.g., for funding, leadership roles, or Code of Conduct matters).
This does not prohibit the use of automated tooling for objective technical
validation, such as CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, or spam filtering. The
final accountability for accepting a contribution, even if implemented by an
automated system, always rests with the human contributor who authorizes the
action.
5. *Large scale initiatives:* The policy doesn't cover the large scale
initiatives which may significantly change the ways the project operates or
lead to exponential growth in contributions in some parts of the project. Such
initiatives need to be discussed separately with the Fedora Council.
Concerns about possible policy violations should be reported via private
tickets to Fedora Council(link).
The key words "MAY", "MUST", "MUST NOT", and "SHOULD" in this document are to
be interpreted as described in *RFC 2119*.
