+Automated AI Reviews
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Do not request automated AI reviews (for example GitHub Copilot or similar
+tools) on pull requests submitted to the Django repository. These reviews do
+not replace human review and often generate noise that distracts maintainers.
+
+You are free to use such tools in your own fork before submitting a pull
+request to the Django repository.
