(I am possibly going to end up double booked but will try to make it)

A good topic will be AI policy, where we need to find some consensus and put out an official policy. A dedicated issue for the discussion is here: Come up with and document an AI policy · Issue #9529 · Slicer/Slicer · GitHub

I think a goal could be to address the 5 questions I wrote there before we start drafting PR templates and documents and so on:

  1. Can we accept AI-written code from someone who cannot explain how it works?
  2. What must a contributor do before asking maintainers to review an AI-assisted PR?
  3. What AI disclosure should we actually require? (co-authorship vs disclosure, etc.)
  4. Should we automatically run an AI review on PRs?
  5. May contributors and reviewers paste AI-generated responses into discussions?

We should aim to determine which of these there is largely agreement on and which of these need deeper offline discussion

Please anyone add questions if you think there are additional things that should be pinned down before drafting the policy.

This is helpful @ebrahim, I’m looking forward to the conversation.

Two related topics in my mind:

  • What should be our AI best practice guidelines be for review of contributions. We have been experimenting with this but it would help to be a bit more formal about what tools we run and what prompts we use.
  • How can we use these tools to analyze and improve our pre-AI code. I know there many things that can be improved, and we should discuss how we want to proceed with large scale bug hunts and refactorings.

We need to consider how these decisions will impact research users as well as clinical/commercial collaborators.
