Doesn't the project adopting wording of this kind "pass the buck" onto
the maintainers? At the end of the day, failure to enforce our stated
policy will be not only the responsibility of the authors but also the
reviewers / maintainers on whole. In effect (and just speaking
personally) wording like this would make it less likely for me as a
maintainer to review PRs with questionable content (potentially avoiding
new contributors who are human but not very aware of their tools / are
junior / new contributors), because I don't want to be implicated in
attesting to the validity of possibly copyright infringing code. I am of
course not against the exact wording or the spirit, and the details are
probably best hammered out on a PR if we decide it makes sense to try to
catch AI generated / assisted work (though I'm not sure we should)..
Perhaps not very related, but at my Uni we recently decided it took too
much effort for us to try to make sure no one was using AI tools than to
simply *grade*, and I think the same spirit applies here as well.

I agree it is hard to enforce, but it seems to me it would be a

take full responsibility for copyright, and that, as of now,
AI-generated code cannot meet that standard, so we require authors to
turn off AI-generation when writing code for Numpy.
I like this position.
I wish it for be common sense for contributors to an open source
codebase that they need to own the copyright on their contributions,
but I don't think it can be assumed. Adding something to these lines
to the project policy has also the potential to educate the
contributions about the pitfalls of using AI to autocomplete their
contributions.
