AI policy for development

From now on (2026-05-11), the policy is a shortened and slightly more permissive version of RPCS3's policy:

Use of AI tools for research, coding and reverse engineering purposes is permitted. However, contributors are expected to fully own and understand all code they submit. Communication with the team — including code, code comments, and GitHub comments — must come from the human contributor, not an AI agent acting autonomously.

Pull requests opened by AI agents or automated tools must include a disclosure in the PR description stating the scope of AI involvement — which parts were AI-generated and what human testing or review was performed prior to submission. PRs that omit this disclosure may be closed without review (but will be commented on).

If you are unsure about your work, open a discussion issue to talk it through with the team, or post in the #developer_discussion channel on our Discord.
