Council Policy Proposal: Policy on AI-Assisted Contributions

So, that policy do not really define AI. Given the constant blurring of meaning between machine learning, AI, Generative AI, LLM, agent, etc, I think we should bring some clarity, or at least, point to a existing definition.

For example, the policy say “AI features MUST be opt-in”, so does that mean that we MUST add a opt-in to Wesnoth to play against the computer in the main campaign (because historically, AI was used to mean that too, and that’s the exact term used in the doc).

I also want to point to my previous point on AI/ML used in spam prevention ( AI policy in Fedora - WIP - #8 by misc ), especially since a mail is a contribution, but our current setup for mail use RH servers managed by RH IT, who use mimecast, who proudly display on the company web site “Email & Collaboration Secured by AI”.

So a AI is in the final step on contribution. hence I think we need to bring clarity on what we mean by “AI”.
