The Debian project has rejected proposals to ban or impose mandatory special rules for the use of generative artificial intelligence (AI) within the project. After a vote, the proposal 'Responsible Use of Generative AI' was adopted, allowing contributions generated by AI provided they meet technical standards, are maintainable, and are legally permissible. There is no requirement to disclose the use of AI, though transparency is encouraged. The decision emphasizes existing requirements for all contributions, stating that contributors remain fully responsible for their work regardless of whether AI tools were used. Developers are expected to understand, review, test, and revise AI-generated content before submitting it, aligning with established development practices. The resolution also prohibits sending non-public data such as personal information, passwords, cryptographic keys, or details about unreleased security vulnerabilities to external AI services. Automated mass actions like bug reports or package changes must follow existing communication processes and human oversight.
