Re: Question about: Debian puts artificial intelligence to a vote; developers will decide how to accept AI-generated or assisted code

If I offer up a new application source code set how do you propose to 
detect lying?

Say a young developer from a foreign country offers up a new application 
source code:

How do you conclusively detect:

_Ethical breaches?_ Please define ethics. Is there a standard 
international definition?

Was that definition agreed to by China, North Korea, and Cuba? Love to 
hear from the

EU on this one. Have they finished their debate on the definition of 
Sausage yet?

_Legal breaches?_ Copyrights? Trade Marks? Patent Violations But then in 
what country?

Whats legal in China may be illegal in the US and visa versa?

_Lying?_ How do you determine the absolute truth when communicating 
across languages

and cultures?

Trustworthiness? What dose the developer need to do? Include a note from 
his priest?
