Hi all, I won't be able to make today's meeting (working on docs, incidentally) but I wanted to report that TEP Board did discuss AI / LLM issues brought up at last meeting - there was no decision but here's the minutes from the relevant section:
-
Questions: -
Does our docs licensing permit use in an AI/LLM setting? -
Does our docs licensing permit generating content with an AI/LLM? -
Are there any specific guidelines that developers should keep in mind when writing or reviewing code for TEP that is generated with AI/LLM tools? -
Dan Guarracino described OWWL’s current pilot of using an internal chatbot docs search tool, leveraging Orama: https://orama.com/ -
Summary of discussion: -
Environmental concerns -
Permitting creativity and experimentation -
Need to understand details of what our licenses say about this -
What our community concerns are vs. what are peer open source groups doing -
Potential risks to community assets & trademarks -
Does AI/LLM use fulfill the share-alike portion of the CC 3.0 license? -
Need for community conversation & probably a workgroup -
Galen will organize a meeting during the Conference Hackfest to discuss this with the larger community. -
Collectively, the board appreciates the heads up from OWWL and are interested to hear about the outcome of the experiment.
