# Policy on AI-Assisted Contributions to the Gradle Build Tool

We use AI tools daily and welcome AI-assisted contributions—provided the human behind them meets the standards below.

## Why this policy exists

There is a fundamental **asymmetry** between submitting a contribution and reviewing one: AI tools make it easy to generate and submit large amounts of code, but they do not make it equally faster for us to review it.
