AI-assisted development is already a reality, and the open source community is coming together to figure out how to manage it.

Many major projects and organizations now agree on a few key ideas: people must stay accountable, being open builds trust, and existing contribution rules like the Developer Certificate of Origin (DCO) still matter. The Linux kernel community, Red Hat’s legal team, and the OpenJS Foundation have all come to similar conclusions. AI can help with development, but people are still responsible for what they submit.

The pwrson who prompted the AI programming tool. Unless AI just starts making random apps or something 🤔

Whoever commits it. If somebody traces a bug back to a commit with my name on it, they should come to me about it. I better have an answer whether I typed out the line or not.

What about codex and agents who author commits themselves? I don't have an answer. I don't use them that way myself. I wouldn't accept a PR that does.
