With the influx of AI-generated code in open source repos, would there be any need/interest in creating a standard to disclose AI usage?
Something like a markdown document in the project root (like LICENSE or CONTRIBUTING) that explains:
- what level of AI was used (None, Assisted, Fully Generated)
- which components used UI (core logic, test, etc.)
- what A.I tools were used
- who reviewed it (human vs. AI reviewed & tested)
- contribution guidelines with AI (may be stepping on the toes of CONTRIBUTION)
I'm sure some repos have this already and each can implement it in their own way. But could a standard that defines a structure to disclose this be helpful?
From the perspective of someone quite inexperienced in open source contribution, not sure if this would be of any help (and to who).
Interested to hear your thoughts on this.
