Defining Acceptable AI Code Use Presents Ethical Challenges

Defining the line between acceptable and unacceptable code generated by AI is challenging, especially when AI is involved in the development process. A proposed shift from a strict "No AI" policy to one allowing "non-agentic AI" could create loopholes, as developers might misrepresent AI-assisted code as non-AI. While some uses, like in the game Big Walk, are considered innocuous, establishing a general rule for acceptable AI code use without introducing ethical risks remains a complex problem. AI

IMPACT The discussion highlights the difficulty in establishing clear ethical guidelines for AI-assisted software development, potentially impacting future policies and practices.

    @ runevision I think it’s very difficult to define a clean boundary between “non slop” and “slop” code when genAI is used at all, and so changing our ethical standard from “No AI” to “non-agentic AI” is a dangerous choice, because it opens up potentially gaping loopholes for devs…
