Description

MC/DC should adopt a clear policy for Gen-AI-assisted contributions.

Gen-AI is a valuable productivity tool, and its thoughtful use is welcome. It should support, not replace, human understanding, judgment, accountability, and collaboration.

The policy should uphold:

  • Human ownership and responsibility
  • Understanding of all submitted work
  • Quality and respect for reviewer time
  • Transparency about substantial AI assistance
  • Copyright, licensing, privacy, and security
  • Human-centered community and collaboration

Completion includes documenting the policy and adding a brief Gen-AI disclosure reminder to the Issue and Pull Request templates.
