This an extremely important topic as AI is completely changing software development in a matter of weeks.

Of course we should require human contributors to do their correction job before submitting the PR. They can run the CI in their organization 1st, it's easy. May be we should explain how in the migration wiki or contributing.md ?

I woukd say yes it's also important to tell AI has been used and at the same time I'm sure in just a few months the vast majority of us will be using some AI in their PR or will be left behind. So soon enough then telling your PR is using AI will be the noise and not the signal...

There is a positive side: in less than 1 year (may be just 6 months) I think 50% of the modules will be able to be migrated automatically with AI and meet all checks. The same will also be probably true for OpenUpgrade.

This will allow us to use the bleeding edge Odoo with all the ecosystem and free us for more interesting work than migration. At some point this is our chance for not getting distanced by Odoo Enterprise.

This raises other concerns: what will be a valid contributors.md or authors.md entry? How will the OCA keep being organized as a meritocracy when the contributions made will soon enough mostly translate to the amount of compute used? How long before AI will claim PSCs?

May be we should also have repo to build these AI migration or review bots? I did some tools already and will tell about them soon... Reach me personally meanwhile if you are interested.

I see many people in the OCA in the denial phase who think AI is just a hype and or just for toy code. There is definitely a hype bubble and It is not able to do the hardest code today but it already beats you at the 50% of the easiest code you write and it is not going to stop any time soon...

This is really such an important topic...
And BTW I believe this will bring dystopia and not abundance. But can we even avoid it?

I actually just completed a course in ai governance and ethics. It was finance focused as requirement for being an accountant, but declaring usage of llm in generating any professional services output is the very bare minimum. Human review was a mandatory part of governance, but honestly there was like 50 things there.

E.g This PR was generated using x llm and reviewed by a human for correctness prior to submission.

Thinking a bit out of the box here, but what might perhaps work is if:

- We set up a separate organisation OCA-ai
- This mirrors the full OCA organization as a fork, similar to odoo vs OCB
- If something looks like AI we close and tell contributors to reopen it there (could possibly be automated with the OCA bot if we can recognize something as AI)
- In that organisation we require 100% test coverage and passing tests, as well as the standard migration process having been followed (could be automated)
- If the bot decides there that it is OK, it automatically reopens the PR to the real OCA organization (where we thus only get "prefiltered" PRs)

In the absence of such automation I +1 Stefan's suggestion of adding a guideline
