These are the two GSoC docs prepared by google: AI Tooling Guidance
We have created two guidance documents, which are suggestions (not requirements) based on feedback from the 2025 Mentor Surveys: - For Mentoring Orgs: Usage of AI tooling in Google Summer of Code 2026 (for Mentoring Orgs) <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1jglptdn_DovOxjwuhzORn3QhYoeBcToS7ymk3IIWHKY/edit?usp=sharing> - For Contributors: Guidance for GSoC Contributors using AI tooling in GSoC 2026 doc <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1t9GcIBnNXPNO6klRQvU8pL8-uV6afzLo6JUAM299suA/edit?usp=sharing> They are both good reads. Lots of alignment with our concerns. A contributor survey showed 70% use AI to write their proposal. I have always valued a quality proposal most in ranking students, but I guess that is no use now.
