Gentoo bans use of βAIβ tools
26 April 2024 at 04:49
Gentoo, the venerable Linux distribution which in my headcanon I describe as βclassyβ, has banned any use of βAIβ. A proposal by Gentoo Council member MichaΕ GΓ³rny from February of this year banning its use has been unanimously accepted by the Gentoo Council. The new policy reads:
It is expressly forbidden to contribute to Gentoo any content that has been created with the assistance of Natural Language Processing artificial intelligence tools. This motion can be revisited, should a case been made over such a tool that does not pose copyright, ethical and quality concerns.

Weβll have to see how this policy will be implemented, but I like that Gentoo is willing to take a stand.
