The document is trying to collect various aspects of the AI use in and around the project.

## Main topics

Upstream developers use AI tools, like Co-Pilot for the generation of art, code and so on which becomes part of the project. They then would like to include the software as a package in Fedora.

### [OC] Official project communication

* Bug reports

### [TC] Toolchain packages

* AI-related tools to develop and train models

## Topic discussion template

#### Q1: Do we have examples of this happening? Good and bad ones.

#### Q2: What are the main downsides?

#### Q3: What are the main benefits?

#### Q4: Should it be decided by the Council?

#### Q5: How can it be tracked, enforced?

## Generic concerns/discussion items

* Do not write AI policy, write Contribution policy
* Focus on what you want or don't want to see, not how you want it to be done
* Do not write a policy, write guidelines -

## Examples

#### "Trying to help"
Someone used generative AI to *answer* a forum question.

"I don't know the answer myself but Chatbot says that..."

> @bookwar My opinion: this should be moderated and possibly banned.

#### "Writer's block"

I need to write an article on the topic so I asked Chatbot to write it for me and edited it a bit to fit.

> @bookwar My opinion: this should be marked and can be rejected by the editors. And if the author consistenly submits low quality content for review, editors *may* decide to ban them from writing.

#### "I don't speak English"

I used translation engine to translate the question from my native language.

> @bookwar My opinion: This should be allowed but recommended to provide the source in the native language alongside the translated version. Maybe built-in translation features can help?

#### "Fedora AI model"

Can I train a model on Fedora Ask content? Can I package it? Can I distribute it using Fedora Infrastructure?
