Godot has updated its contribution policy and plans to require all code to be human authored.
Godot Foundation has revised its contribution policy to address the influx of AI-generated code contributions. The Foundation expressed concerns over the overwhelming number of AI contributions, emphasizing the need for all code to be authored by humans. The updated policy aims to shift focus towards nurturing new contributors to become future maintainers and reviewers, discouraging low-quality submissions.
The new rules will prohibit the use of autonomous AI agents, AI-generated substantial code, and AI-generated text in human-to-human communication. The team also highlighted the importance of human approval in all contributions to the platform. Additionally, the policy will enforce an auto-ban for those utilizing AI agents or 'vibe coding' in their submissions.
Godot Foundation acknowledged the challenges posed by the increasing reliance on AI tools and pledged to maintain a cautious approach in their policies. The post concluded by stating their commitment to monitoring developments in AI technology and adjusting their strategies accordingly.
