A group of KDE users and contributors launched KDE for People, calling on the project to ban generative AI in Plasma and related components and arguing that a policy allowing AI use conflicts with KDE Eco’s environmental goals. The campaign points to Zig, elementary OS, and OBS Studio as projects that have taken a stance against AI and says the question is about signaling the kind of community KDE wants to be rather than measuring the exact share of AI in any commit.
