Linus Torvalds bans AI‑slop in Linux, forces human accountability
Linus Torvalds and kernel maintainers have formalized an AI‑assistance policy that bans AI‑generated “slop” patches and requires a human‑signed “Assisted‑by” tag, making developers fully liable for any machine‑written code. The move follows controversy over undisclosed AI contributions and aims to preserve Linux’s quality standards.
