Debian will allow AI-assisted contributions, and will not require disclosure
Eight proposals were on the ballot, two of them written to keep generative AI out of the project's own packaging, documentation and web pages. Both lost. The adopted text says Debian neither endorses nor prohibits these tools, and puts the whole weight on the person who submits the work. Saying that a model helped is encouraged and nothing more.
