The OpenJDK interim policy on generative AI restricts contributions in OpenJDK repositories from being generated by large language models, diffusion models, or similar deep-learning systems, except for private use to comprehend, debug, and review code. Reviewers are expected to detect AI-generated content and notify contributors if found, and contributors must ensure they own intellectual property rights in their contributions.
