 - All instrumentations have the same version. If you are going to develop a new instrumentation it would probably have `X.Y.dev` version and depends on `opentelemetry-instrumentation` and `opentelemetry-semantic-conventions` for the same version. That means that if you want to install your instrumentation you need to install its dependencies from this repo and the core repo also from git.
 
+## Guidance for GenAI instrumentations
+
+Instrumentations that relate to [generative AI](https://opentelemetry.io/docs/specs/semconv/gen-ai/) systems will be placed in [genai](./instrumentation/genai) folder. This section covers contributions related to those instrumentations. Please note that the [guidelines for instrumentations](#guideline-for-instrumentations) and [expectations from contributors](#expectations-from-contributors) still apply. If you would like to be tagged in PRs related to these instrumentations, please submit a PR to add your github alias to [component_owners.yml](.github/component_owners.yml) under the corresponding instrumentation folder(s). If you would like to be able to approve PRs related to these instrumentations, you must join [opentelemetry-python-contrib-approvers](https://github.com/orgs/open-telemetry/teams/opentelemetry-python-contrib-approvers) team. Please ask one of the [Python contrib maintainers](https://github.com/orgs/open-telemetry/teams/opentelemetry-python-contrib-maintainers) to be accepted into the team. For tracking issues related to generative AI, please filter/add a label for [gen-ai](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-python-contrib/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3Agen-ai) to filter for/create issues. If you do not see an issue related to an instrumentation you would like to contribute, please create a new tracking issue so the community is aware of it's progress.

 ## Expectations from contributors
 
 OpenTelemetry is an open source community, and as such, greatly encourages contributions from anyone interested in the project. With that being said, there is a certain level of expectation from contributors even after a pull request is merged, specifically pertaining to instrumentations. The OpenTelemetry Python community expects contributors to maintain a level of support and interest in the instrumentations they contribute. This is to ensure that the instrumentation does not become stale and still functions the way the original contributor intended. Some instrumentations also pertain to libraries that the current members of the community are not so familiar with, so it is necessary to rely on the expertise of the original contributing parties.
