+
+Greetings fellow humans!
+
+For better or for worse, controversially perhaps, we are now immersed in an
+online landscape laden with LLMs.
+
+This may be a fact that brings you great joy. However, not everyone feels the
+same way about LLMs. Some folks dislike them for privacy or ethical reasons.
+Some people just don't feel good about talking to LLMs without knowing. We
+want folks in all camps to feel welcome on Libera.Chat.
+
+We believe that the best way to make this happen is to ensure that people are
+not caught unaware. As such, building on the principles of our
+[public logging policy][logging], staff would appreciate cooperation with
+these simple guidelines:
+
+- LLMs are allowed on Libera.Chat. They may both take input from Libera.Chat
+and output responses to Libera.Chat.
+- Training LLMs on channel content or logs is subject to the
+[public logging policy][logging] and therefore requires permission before that
+content can be used for training.
+- As soon as possible, people should be made aware if they are interacting
+with, or their activity is being seen by, a LLM. Consider using line prefixes,
+channel topics, or channel entry messages.
+- People who operate interactive LLM scripts or bots in channels they don't
+run must obtain permission from the channel founders and operators.
+- LLM scripts and bots are not exempt from [our network policies][behaviour].
+People running LLM scripts and bots are responsible for what they output.
+- Other people may be responsible for what a LLM script or bot outputs based
+on their prompts.
+
+While these guidelines are not final, nor enshrined as
+[network policy][policy] with exception of training LLMs on channel content,
+we do have [a broad prohibition on antisocial behaviour][behaviour]. We
+encourage folks to consider whether their application of LLMs is reasonably
+prosocial or antisocial.
