AI and LLM Usage Policy

If you use any AI or LLMs, you must disclose their use in your PRs and/or conversations with your mentor. Additionally, you must fully understand and be able to explain any AI-generated code you submit. Any undisclosed use of AI or Large Language Models, or inability to explain AI-generated contributions, will be grounds for instant disqualification.

Responsibility and Use

Using AI does not change your responsibility:

  • You are responsible for what you submit, publish, or run
  • AI-generated code or text must be understood before use
  • Errors introduced by AI are still your responsibility

AI is a productivity multiplier, not an excuse for shallow understanding.
Learning to use these tools well is now part of being an effective researcher, engineer, and collaborator.
