• AI Policy
  • Recently significant increase in contributions which are generated, or at least assisted, by AI
  • Some frustration (Review, code quality, ...) between people pro/contra to AI tools
  • I want to establish a Rucio AI Policy which sets a framework how we expect people to use AI tools responsibly in Rucio
    • Not banning AI tools, but having a set of rules which make their use sustainable
    • This is both a technical (code quality, retaining knowledge) as well as social (reviewers feeling their investments are worthwhile) exercise
  • Timeline
    • Currently working on a draft hoping to distribute it to the Rucio developers community on Feb-27
