DMOJ AI Policy

Kirito posted on Feb. 12, 2026, 7:47 p.m.

This is a follow-up to the previous post on the usage of AI in contests.

As a reminder, all usage of AI on rated contests is prohibited. This includes but is not limited to, ChatGPT and Copilot.

Additionally, the use of DMOJ's judging resources for AI training is prohibited. These models strain DMOJ's judging resources and make the site unusable for average users. As enforcement, we have added a submission rate limit for all users. This is high enough as to not affect legitimate users, while curbing bot abuse.

Furthermore, we reserve the right to terminate bot accounts, and/or poison their training data.

If you wish to use DMOJ's non-judging resources for AI training purposes, such as problem statements or API data, please contact the administrators via email at contact -at- dmoj.ca.

    Even though AI may be quicker and more perfect then humans, we are the ones who are entering these contests, and people should not be taking shortcuts when there are others who put a lot of effort in to their code. I'm glad this policy has been implemented.
