NeurIPS reviewers may need a different system in the age of coding agents
ChenhaoTan · x · 2026-07-21
A researcher says NeurIPS needs a different review system after hearing from multiple people with no technical background who submitted papers using agents for all coding.
They reportedly said they did not understand what the agent changed or how the underlying code works, but assumed reviewers would catch any mistakes. The post highlights a growing trust problem around agent-generated code in academic submissions.
