We discussed it in 2019: https://issues.guix.gnu.org/36071 This LWN article on the debate that then took place in Debian is insightful: https://lwn.net/Articles/760142/ To me, there is no doubt that neural networks are a threat to user autonomy: hard to train by yourself without very expensive hardware, next to impossible without proprietary software, plus you need that huge amount of data available to begin with. As a project, we don’t have guidelines about this though. I don’t know if we can come up with general guidelines or if we should, at least as a start, look at things on a case-by-case basis. Ludo’.
