Canton’s Development Fund has adopted rules for AI-assisted submissions, allowing contributors to use AI tools while remaining responsible for the work they submit. The policy was adopted on August 27 and applies to the Fund’s GitHub repository.
The rules cover funding proposals, milestone submissions, code and review comments. Contributors must check their work before submitting it and be able to explain and defend its claims, budgets and supporting evidence.
AI use does not need to be labelled upfront. Contributors must now on answer honestly if asked whether AI helped produce a submission.
Submissions that appear to contain unreviewed AI output, including invented references or incorrect claims, may be closed. Repeated submissions of this kind may lead to a repository block.
