 - 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 the [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.

 ## 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.
