+AI-assisted Contributions
+-------------------------
+
+OVS is a Linux Foundation project, and the Linux Foundation's policy for
+AI-generated patches can be found here:
+https://www.linuxfoundation.org/legal/generative-ai .
+
+OVS allows the use of AI assistants in producing patches. Contributions
+which have used an AI assistant should disclose the use of the assistant by
+using the "Assisted-by" tag. While AI-assisted patches are allowed, the author
+of the patch is ultimately responsible for ensuring that the AI-generated code
+has not violated any terms of the Developer's Certificate of Origin.
