+## Using AI Code Generators
+
+If you use an AI code generator such as ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, Llama or a similar tool, this must be
+disclosed in the commit messages and pull request description.
+
+The quality bar for contributions to this project is high, and unlikely to be met by an unattended AI tool,
+without significant manual corrections. Always thoroughly review and correct any such outputs, for example
+ensuring it accurately follows [Coding Style](https://systemd.io/CODING_STYLE) at the very minimum. Please do
+not fire-and-forget pull requests without any human intervention and review, as that will likely result in
+low-quality results that will not be accepted, and if done repeatedly, may result in the account being
+blocked. As with any other submissions, authors are responsible for doing due diligence and ensuring their
+submissions are compatible with the project's license as documented in LICENSES/README.md.
+
+As a guideline, if someone notices that a contribution (code, issues, comments) was made with the help of AI,
+there was likely a lack of human review of the AI generated output.
