Unless the code the AI generated is a copy of copyrighted code, of course. Then it would be copyright infringement.
I can cause the AI to spit out code that _I_ own the copyright to, because it was trained on my code too. If someone used that code without including attribution to me (the requirement of the license I release my code under), that would be copyright infringement. Do you understand what I mean?

That would be true even if they didn't use AI to reproduce it. The problem being addressed by the Linux foundation isn't the use of copyrighted work in developer contribution, it's the assumption that the code was authored by them at all just because it's submitted in their name and tagged as verified. Does that make sense?
