Summary
Debian, a major Linux distribution, voted to allow developers to use AI tools (software that generates code or text) when contributing to the project, rather than banning them. The policy states that AI use must follow the same quality and responsibility standards that already apply to all Debian contributors, though some community members disagree with this decision.
