The project says inference must run where users choose, document content must not leave a computer without authorization, and it collects no telemetry. These constraints are useful when designing AI features for sensitive, widely deployed software.

What

LibreOffice says AI features should not be enabled by default unless they meet the project’s conditions for user control and privacy.

How

The conditions include optional use, authorized data transmission, no telemetry, open interfaces, and output in ODF format.

Why it matters
