Our AI guiding principles
Strong design principles in our efforts to encourage thoughtful AI adoption where it provides demonstrable benefits, while avoiding 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.
