The GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) developers now have a need to set a policy whether AI / Large Language Model (LLM) generated patches will be accepted for this open-source compiler stack.
The GCC compiler doesn’t currently have a policy in place whether to permit AI/LLM-generated patches. But within a bug report today there is a patch posted by a user in trying to fix a GCC 16 compiler regression.
A lot of open source development now is done by employees at big corps like IBM, Red Hat, Google and Microsoft.
Those companies heavily push towards using AI for development, some even enforcing it.
Will be interesting to see what happens when more and more OSS projects outright ban AI contributions, while more and more companies mandate using AI.
