The meeting hosts reacted quickly to change Etherpad and Zooms and not re-admit the aliases that had claimed to be “AIs”.
Now we have an “AI policy” page on the wiki where we are documenting examples of the AI policies of:
* individual personal websites
* community efforts like blogging challenges (e.g. Blaugust)
* contributions to the IndieWeb wiki
* participants in IndieWeb meetups
https://indieweb.org/AI_policy
Do you have an AI policy on your website? Add yourself to the IndieWeb Examples section.
