Just catching up on the Debian AI debate. The project has had a voting window over the past two weeks which just concluded. Results are in and Debian maintainers voted to allow AI contributions with encouraged disclosure. The winning proposal will hold the human contributor who uses AI accountable for the content they submit to the project. https://linuxiac.com/debian-says-yes-to-generative-ai-but-keeps-humans-accountable/ #Debian #AI #Linux #OpenSource
