Oracle has banned AI-generated code from OpenJDK contributions. Oracle said developers can use LLMs privately for debugging and reviewing code but cannot submit AI-generated material to repositories, pull requests, or other project channels. The policy contrasts sharply with Oracle's internal practices. Co-founder Larry Ellison recently declared that AI models now write Oracle's code, whilst co-CEO Mike Sicilia credited AI tools with enabling smaller engineering teams to deliver faster.
