Our AI guiding principles
Strong design principles in our efforts to encourage thoughtful AI adoption as part of our product strategy. AI only where it provides demonstrable benefits and avoids common pitfalls.
-
No AI dependency in Wagtail core
APIs and UI components in core will support the delivery of AI-powered capabilities in packages and custom development, but AI will not be a requirement for Wagtail core itself.
-
Responsible approach to AI
High alignment with our values – ethical, environmentally sustainable, transparent, privacy-preserving.
-
Model and provider agnostic
Compatible with a wide range of open source and small language models, not just large flagship proprietary models. Facilitating the use of the lower impact options whenever possible.
-
Only the right AI
Rather than a presumption in favour of AI, focus only on the use cases where the application of AI delivers real, tangible value.
-
Human in the loop
Preserve the user’s autonomy and agency, and guard against the risks associated with hallucinations and probabilistic output.
