The team behind the popular open-source, cross-platform password manager KeePassXC has provided a detailed explanation of how AI is utilized in its development workflow, addressing community concerns raised following a recent update to the project’s contribution policy, and, more specifically, in the AI-related aspects.

In its announcement, the team stresses that AI assists developers during the review and drafting process, but no AI-generated code is merged into the KeePassXC codebase. The application itself remains fully human-written and continues to follow the rigorous security standards that its users expect.

that's unfortunate because even as a ludite i generate some code from LLMs to try things out before working on the application code. But doesn't mean that I copy AI generated code into my application.

Transparency should be trusted to encourage good behavior.

If this company never disclosed their AI usage behind closed doors you would be none the wiser.
