Added the standard AI policy to this repo.

This policy applies to all contributions — including funding proposals, milestone submissions, code, issues, reviews, comments, and documentation — to this repository, regardless of whether you are a maintainer or an external contributor.

Using AI tools is allowed and often useful. The rules below exist to protect the quality and integrity of the Development Fund process and the time of reviewers and other contributors.

You must understand and be able to defend every material element of your submission, including code, technical claims, citations, budgets, milestones, acceptance criteria, adoption claims, and security findings. You must also be able to explain *why* each element is included. “The AI wrote it” is not an answer.

Aggressively self-review AI output before asking anyone else to look at it. If you would not ask a colleague to read a specific proposal, do not ask the maintainers either.

Do not open a PR you would not have opened without AI assistance. An AI making content cheap to produce is not a reason to produce more of it.
