+<h1>GNU Compiler Collection -  AI Policy</h1>
+
+<h2>Community First</h2>
+
+<p>
+First, all contributors should be treated
+<a href="https://gcc.gnu.org/conduct.html";>with respect and kindness</a>.
+There are strongly held and widely varying opinions regarding large language
+models (LLMs) and everyone should be presumed to be contributing in good faith.
+We welcome all contributors to the community even if they have not yet followed
+our policies; we should guide such contributors on how to do so.
+</p>
+
+<h2>Acceptable Contributions</h2>
+
+<p>
+For the time being, the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) policy is to decline any
+<a 
href="https://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/maintain.html#Legally-Significant";>legally
+significant</a>
+contributions which include LLM-generated content
+or are derived from LLM-generated content.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The GCC maintainers are free to accept
+<a 
href="https://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/maintain.html#Legally-Significant";>legally
+insignificant</a>
+contributions generated by an LLM as long as they meet
+<a href="https://gcc.gnu.org/contribute.html";>the usual prerequisites</a>
+for any contribution and the contribution is clearly marked.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+As an exception, the GCC maintainers are free to accept
+<a 
href="https://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/maintain.html#Legally-Significant";><em>legally
+significant</em></a>
+contributions to <strong>test cases</strong>,
+generated in whole or in part by an LLM.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+This policy does not apply to code which does not primarily belong to
+the GCC project, but is imported from other projects for convenience
+or to satisfy prerequisites (e.g. libsanitizer).
+</p>
+
+<h2>Transparency &amp; Accountability</h2>
+
+<p>
+The commit message for any contribution of LLM-generated content must
+include an “Assisted-by:â€? tag.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+All contributions must be submitted by a human who understands the
+changes and is prepared to answer questions about them. The decision
+to include the contribution in the project must also be made by a
+human.  Only a human may provide the “Signed-off-by:â€? tag certifying
+the <a href="https://developercertificate.org/";>Developer Certificate of Origin
+(DCO)</a>. An LLM may not commit code to the project repository.
+</p>
+
+<h2>Personal Use</h2>
+
+<p>
+This policy does not apply to a contributor's other uses of AI
+including the use of these tools to enable them to work with their own
+computing devices e.g. screen readers, text-to-speech, direct
+translations, spelling or grammar assistance, where the contributor
+verifies the output of the tool.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+This policy does not apply to a contributor's use of AI for the
+purposes of research, analysis, bug discovery and reporting (output
+should not be sent verbatim without due consideration), patch review
+(supporting human review, not replacing it) and debugging, so long as
+the output is not included in the contributions to the project.  If
+the output is included in the contributions to the project then this
+policy would apply.
+</p>
+
+<h2>Next Steps</h2>
+
+<p>
+This policy is expected to evolve with the community or as the overall
+GNU Project position is updated. At the latest the policy will be
+reviewed at the start of 2027.
