The FreeCAD developers team recently enhanced the initial AI policy introduced a few months back. The updated policy is now a separate document. It puts people first, covers the concerns over the use of AI, and sets the expectations for code submissions created with the help of LLMs.
In particular, the dev team expects contributors to disclose the use of AI in the pull request description, take responsibility for the code they are submitting, and communicate with code reviewers without the use of chatbots.
The AI policy will likely receive further updates. A longer-term plan is to track the emergence of ethically created LLMs for assisted development.
