Re: GCC AI Policy Announcement
Richard Biener questions GCC’s AI policy, arguing it inadequately addresses maintainability and reviewer overload, focusing narrowly on legal concerns. Joseph Myers and Sam James counter that existing policy clauses cover human oversight, while the debate touches on the scope and intent of the policy.
