+=== Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI)
+
+The Developer's Certificate of Origin requires contributors to certify
+that they know the origin of their contributions to the project and
+that they have the right to submit it under the project's license.
+It's not yet clear that this can be legally satisfied when submitting
+significant amount of content that has been generated by AI tools.
+
+Another issue with AI generated content is that AIs still often
+hallucinate or just produce bad code, commit messages, documentation
+or output, even when you point out their mistakes.
+
+To avoid these issues, we will reject anything that looks AI
+generated, that sounds overly formal or bloated, that looks like AI
+slop, that looks good on the surface but makes no sense, or that
+senders don’t understand or cannot explain.
+
+We strongly recommend using AI tools carefully and responsibly.
+
+Contributors would often benefit more from AI by using it to guide and
+help them step by step towards producing a solution by themselves
+rather than by asking for a full solution that they would then mostly
+copy-paste. They can also use AI to help with debugging, or with
+checking for obvious mistakes, things that can be improved, things
+that don’t match our style, guidelines or our feedback, before sending
+it to us.
