+We follow the [LLVM AI Tool policy](https://llvm.org/docs/AIToolPolicy.html).
+
+In short that means:
+- You are the author of your change and need to fully understand it regardless of how it was generated.
+- Your contribution should be worth more to the project than the time it takes to review it.
+- If your contribution is a large change and to signficiant amounts authored by AI tools, you should disclose that.
+- You are responsible for ensuring you have the right to license your contributions.
+
+If you can not follow these guidelines PLEASE REFRAIN FROM CONTRIBUTING.

 We use `clang-format` version `15` to consistently format the code base. There is a helper script under `scripts/format.sh`.
 The format is automatically checked by the `mason-linux-release` job of a Travis CI build.
 To save development time a local hook `.git/hooks/pre-push`
