AI tools will keep changing. Your community's expectations shouldn't have to.
Our "AI Contribution Policy: A Practical Guide" helps communities build adaptable policies around the contributions—not the tools.

Don't govern the AI tool. Govern the contribution.
AI policies for #opensource should focus on accountability, transparency, verification, and quality—not an ever-growing list of approved and banned tools.

AI is creating more opportunity than disruption for commercial #opensource.
According to new @linuxfoundation research, 72% of companies report a positive impact from AI.
While AI is accelerating innovation, openness remains a competitive advantage. bit.ly/4z6usvQ
ALT The image is an infographic titled "The State of Commercial Open Source 2026." It presents eleven predictions about the future of Commercial Open Source Software (COSS) in hexagonal shapes, with each prediction accompanied by an icon. The predictions cover topics such as the opening of ecosystems, AI influences, investment in community trust, and the importance of customer success and collaboration.

The same #opensource principles that enable distributed communities to build software together can also help navigate the growing role of AI in development.
Read why trustworthy AI starts with community governance: red.ht/4fcFpov
Open source communities need clear expectations, transparent processes, and shared accountability to navigate AI-assisted development.
Trustworthy AI starts with community governance.

AI could bring more people into open source. The opportunity is making sure that participation translates into meaningful contributions -- not more work for maintainers.
How do we scale collaboration, not just code?
New insights from @RedHat and @linuxfoundation 👇
How is gen AI changing open source development? New Linux Foundation research sponsored by Red Hat shows 61% of contributors conduct detailed code reviews of AI-generated code, while 80% emphasize model provenance. Explore the data: red.ht/4i8qRqG

Open source success is not just adoption, cost savings, or license compliance.
Consider contributor onboarding, retention, community health, and your organization's ability to collaborate upstream.

More vulnerability reports don't automatically mean more #security.
For #opensource maintainers, every report takes time to assess, reproduce, prioritize, and resolve.
Sometimes the best contribution is time spent helping upstream. Read why: red.ht/48caN2C

When it comes to AI, knowing what a model can do is only part of the equation. Knowing where it came from matters, too.
Transparency isn't just a principle. It's part of building trust in AI.
Red Hat is proud to be a sponsor of this LF Research report. Be sure to check it out!
Generative AI is reshaping open source development, and the trade-offs are starting to show.
LF Research surveyed 234 OSS contributors and maintainers: 1 in 4 incoming PRs are now "AI slop," and only 1 in 3 projects have a formal AI policy.
